Just about everyone I know who has school-age children is running themselves ragged about now.

If it's not football or hockey practice, it's dance lessons, Scouts, religion classes, youth groups, not to mention homework.Summer's carefree days are over!With all the running around, it's hard to find the time to sit down and eat a meal, let alone cook one. Here's an easy weeknight dinner that takes almost no time to prepare and is ready in just a little more than a half-hour (and most of that is the time it needs to simmer).I amped the flavor of this up a bit with a little marsala wine. If you don't have any, or don't want to use it, don't. This stroganoff is plenty tasty even without it.Weeknight Stroganoff1 small onion, chopped2 pounds ground beef1 can cream of mushroom soup1 cup water1 package onion soup mix1 small can sliced mushroomsOne-quarter cup marsala wineOne-half cup sour creamBrown onion with ground beef until meat is no longer pink. Add cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, water, wine and mushrooms. Simmer for a half-hour.
