ARCHIVED RECIPES

*** Prior to the various Holidays we will add a new recipe daily. So, stop by often. ***

So, how about some easy WINTER refreshing recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts. Enjoy.


recipe Dinner Recipe: Simple Hamburger Stroganoff
Servings: 6
allrecipes ~ Step by Step

I created this beef stroganoff recipe with hamburger because I love the taste of a good stroganoff, but I don't like the expense of beef tips, steak, or roast beef, nor do I like all the time it takes to make them. My version is creamy and tastes great.
Recipe by: Jessica

    Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into pieces
  • 1 (6 ounce) can chopped mushrooms, with liquid
  • 1 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • ½ cup milk

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Stir in cream cheese, mushrooms with liquid, and gravy mix; cook and stir over medium heat until cream cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add condensed soup, sour cream, and milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until smooth and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Drain egg noodles; stir into the beef mixture. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
