Easy Stroganoff

I have always loved a good stroganoff. I remember it being my meal of choice for my birthday dinner, as a child. Like I've mentioned before, I'm somewhat of a master of changing a recipe and making it my own. I found this good recipe in one of my cookbooks and after making it a couple times, I saw this commercial on TV for Hamburger Helper Stroganoff. Just like that, it hit me. Why not make my own hamburger helper with a recipe I already have? It was the perfect candidate recipe to try it on. After a few adjustments on quantities I got a super easy, super tasty homemade hamburger helper stroganoff.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped (approx. 1/2 onion)
2 garlic cloves, minced
16 oz. sour cream
4 tbsp. flour
4 tsp. beef bouillon granules
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup water
1 box cork screw noodles

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, flour and bouillon granules. Add the black pepper and water and whisk until smooth, set aside. In a large skillet brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic. Drain off fat and return to the skillet. Add the sour cream mixture and continue to cook over medium low heat until the sauce has become thick and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, cook your noodles according to the instructions on the box. Place noodles on a plate and the stroganoff on top and it is DELICIOUS! You can always add some salt if you think it needs it.

That's it! How easy is that? I'm all about easy tastiness. A heads up, I tend to always end up with more meat than noodles. So you may have to cook more noodles than just that one box. I wanted to be sure to include this disclaimer in there.

Sour cream, flour, and bouillon granules. Mix well!

Cook it down

My mom always said don't judge by the way it looks. You have to taste it first, then you'll see how good this really is.
