Mama's Hamburger Beef Stroganoff
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (I prefer 80/20)
- 6 -8 fresh mushrooms (sliced OR 1 6.5-ounce canned stems & pieces is fine)
- 1 medium onion (sub onion flakes or onion powder-you get the flavor & kids don't know they're getting the onions lol)
- 1⁄2 - 1 minced garlic clove (sub garlic powder for same reason as onion)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of celery soup (any brand is fine to your taste)
- 8 ounces sour cream (use 2-8 ounces per batch depending on preference or how much you have on hand -regular or light work)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
directions
- Start rice in microwave & it will be ready by the time the rest is done. Or of course use stove for rice or noodles.
- Brown ground beef with mushrooms, onion, & garlic.
- DO NOT DRAIN (This is why I prefer 80/20.) You HAVE to have some grease for the next step, so add 1-2 Tablespoons of butter or margarine if you used ground chuck. If you used a lower quality and there seems to be more than 1/2 cup grease at this stage, drain some off.
- Make a roux (pronounced roo) by sprinkling flour on hamburger mixture (you'll know it's right when all the grease is pretty much absorbed but there's not a great excess of flour) & stirring continuously for a few minutes until mixture thickens, then reduce heat to low/medium-low.
- Add cream of celery soup & sour cream, stir to warm.
- Salt & pepper to taste & serve over rice or noodles (If desired & -lol- to stop kids taking more topping than rice, mix all together before you serve) NOTE: this is a great early recipe for younger cooks, even with the roux process (once you've seen/done it once it's easy to tell if you have it right.).
