Hamburger Stroganoff

Posted on30. Nov, 2009 by Mary Lutz.

This recipe is a family favorite! It’s quick and easy to make.

Two lbs. hamburger meat (we try to get the healthiest meat, with the lowest fat percentage)

One large can Cream of Mushroom soup (or two small cans)

About 2 cups of sour cream

A splash of milk (about 1/2 cup)

Garlic powder

Worsteshire sauce

pepper

salt

Mrs. Dash Table Blend

One large package egg noodles

As the ground beef is browning, sprinkle some garlic powder, pepper and Mrs. Dash all over the meat. If needed, drain the meat once it’s brown. Also start a pot of water, probably about 8 cups, for the noodles. Be sure to use a pot large enough to hold the noodles and meat sauce mixture.

Add the mushroom soup, sour cream and milk to the browned ground beef, mix well. Turn heat to medium-low and let simmer, stirring occasionally.

Once the water starts to boil, add the noodles and stir. Boil noodles until tender. Drain. Add the meat sauce to the noodles and stir. Voila! You’ve got beef (hamburger) stroganoff.

Serve with garlic toast.

Optional ingredients:

Chopped onion

Sliced mushrooms

I prefer these in mine, but not everyone in the family does, so I don’t use them often. But, if you would like add them when you’re browning the ground beef.

My digital camera is lost right now, otherwise I would take a pic and post it, because I just made it for dinner! The house smells fabulous!!!

Recipe: Hamburger Goulash Bake

Posted on16. Nov, 2009 by Mary Lutz.

The other night I was on the phone with my sister, no I think we were texting or chatting, I can’t remember, but anyway, I told her I didn’t know what to make for dinner, so she suggested the following recipe. The variation here is a bit different from what she actually told me to suit what I had in my cupboards. It’s a great way to use up some of those things in your cupboard, when you don’t have time or money to run to the store. (Although, to be honest, Jeff did go to the store to get some of the ingredients…LOL)

Hamburger Goulash Bake (I made up the name)

What you need:

1 med. onion, chopped
2 TBSP. Olive Oil
Ground beef: 1.5 lbs.
Garlic Powder: 2 tsp. or to suit your taste

Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Seasoning: 2 tsp. or to suit your taste
Curry Powder: 2 tsp. or to suit your taste
Black Pepper to taste
2 small cans stewed tomatoes
Half pkg. family size frozen corn
1/4 pkg. family size box of elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
1 tsp. salt (optional)
1.5 to 2 cups shredded cheddar or colby cheese

How you make it:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and saute the onions until brown. (Makes your house smell yummy!)
Add ground beef. While cooking, add all of the seasonings, except the salt. Drain if necessary (I used lean ground beef so draining wasn’t necessary).
Add the stewed tomatoes and corn and cook until the corn is tender.
Add the cooked macaroni and salt if desired.

Pour the concoction into a 9×13 glass baking dish, top with cheese, and bake on 350F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve with warm tortillas or cornbread.

I actually took a picture this time, since I got my new camera and all!
