I rarely make Beef Stroganoff because the meat is so expensive and the perfect sauce takes forever. I used this recipe, only using 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (all I had), and fresh mushrooms that needed to be used. My picky husband is eyeing his third plate. Should I try to stop him or let him explode? ?? This is a great recipe!
I'm 13 and don't really like to cook that much. This was super easy and kind of fun. Something for thought, I added Tuscan bread on the side. I will DEFINITELY make this again.
I made a few minor changes. The guys in my family dislike mushrooms (how sad) so I had to omit those. In their place, I added a stalk of celery I had. I chopped it up and added it into the ingredients when everything was mixed together. (the noodles and the sauce). Everyone loved it and the celery added a nice crunch to it. I added bread and a salad and it was an awesome, inexpensive meal!
*UPDATE* I had my husband recreate the meal a few night ago, as I was busy. His tasted a lot better....less salty. The texture was a bit lighter too. We found out later that evening that he forgot the sour cream and instead of using butter, he used extra virgin olive oil. I prefer this to the original recipe. He also added a can of corn, a can of sweet peas, and an extra half lb. of ground beef. This gave us enough for seconds, lunches, and leftovers. I believe the substitutes, additions, and omitting the sour cream made this recipe healthier.
Husband loves it! I fry onions and fresh mushrooms and set them aside. Brown hamburger and drain fat. Add flour for a couple of minutes then soups and mushrooms/onions. Add garlic and a bit of seasoning salt and Worchestire sauce to taste. I find 1/2 to 3/4 cup sour cream is enough and also add approximately 1/2 c milk to thin sauce a bit.
I'm no cook but I've been trying to help out around the kitchen more. My wife and I actually loved this dish tonight when I made it. Good instructions and awesome results. I made it exactly as written.
Absolutely delicious!!!! Only change I made was to add a splash of worchestershire sauce to the hamburger. Perfection!! Thank you so much for sharing. Also used fresh baby bella mushrooms. 7/1/15
Oh my...this is WAY TOO SALTY...i should have went with my instincts and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt but since none of the reviews mentioned it being too salty i didnt....could have got at least 4 stars if not for that. The soup is salty enough as it is garlic powder will work just fine and you can add salt if you feel it needs it. I also suggest omitting the flour step and draining the grease from the hamburger it seems the only purpose the flour serves is to soak up the grease plus just takes more work - i felt the end result was too thick anyway
Three modifications were made:
1) No onions
2) No sour cream
3) Proper seasoning w/ salt and pepper to the raw ground beef just prior to cooking.
Made this for my wife almost exactly as is for dinner tonight, and she loved it! We've been struggling for a while to find a stroganoff recipe that she really likes. This is complicated by the fact that she's not really a fan of sour cream. Since this recipe called for a small amount of sour cream and no cream cheese, I picked it, and I'm glad I did:)
Anyway, we were so impressed with how well it tasted for being such a simple recipe that I've already saved it away for later use.
This is a very simple and tasty way to make stroganoff. A couple of things I added to give it more flavor: A little Worcestershire sauce, some cooking Sherry and I added crushed garlic instead of garlic salt, as other reviewers did. I would definitely make this again!
