Hamburger Stroganoff

This recipe is SO GOOD if you make it the original way. In parenthesis you'll find my "healthy" alterations, but I warn you that it does not taste as good as the original way. Also...don't be deceived by it's looks. This is a favorite with the MEN in our family. Us women love it too. It's a recipe from my wonderful grandmother who has passed on. ENJOY!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup minced onion
1 clove of garlic minced
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp flour (I use Whole Wheat)
1 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 lb. fresh mushrooms (cut to your preference) or 6 oz. can (drained)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream (I used Light Sour Cream)
1 lb egg noodles cooked (I sometimes use Whole Wheat noodles)

Directions:
Saute onion and garlic in butter over medium heat.
Add meat and brown.
Add flour, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 15 minutes.
Add soup, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes
Stir in sour cream and heat through

Serve over egg noodles or stir the sauce and noodles together. Either way tastes good.

    I switched it up a bit because I don't like fresh mushrooms...something about eating fungus disturbs me...anyway I used cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and it was way tasty... also you may want to drain your meat after browning it and adding the flour and other ingredients. Very yummuy and easy to make!

    You CAN drain if you like, but then you MIGHT risk loosing the butter you used to help with cooking and flavor. I'm not entirely sure because I've never drained the meat due to the butter (which can be bad for you LOL!)but you can do whatever you want to do. Remember: You don't have to follow recipes to a T. =)

    yummy! mrs. smith is right though about draining the meat :) you won't lose the flavor, just a LOT of unneeded grease! I'll have to try this recipe sometime! We've only ever had the boxed kind. Haha.

    I drained the meat when I made this on Saturday. My only problem I had was the meat burning slightly during the 15 minute cook stage. Having the grease and butter helps from burning the meat unless you're constantly standing there and stirring it. I did lower the heat to prevent it from burning as well so if you want to you can drain just be very careful. However it did make a difference, in a good way, with the finished product. It's all up to the COOK how you do it. :D Either way I am sure it is DELICIOUS. Did you have a problem with burning Jenny??
