🍝 Stroganoff Recipe

🏆 A creamy, savory twist on the classic Hamburger Helper — made from scratch!

📦 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of celery soup, undiluted
• 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Dash of pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 package (8 ounces) wide egg noodles, cooked according to package directions

📝 Instructions

1. In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 4 minutes until they become tender and fragrant.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 5 minutes until they are cooked and slightly browned. Remove the onion, garlic, and mushroom mixture from the pan using a perforated spoon and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook it over medium-high heat until it is browned, stirring occasionally. Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess grease.
4. Return the onion, garlic, and mushroom mixture to the skillet with the cooked beef. Add the cream of celery soup, dill weed, salt, paprika, and a dash of pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Stir in the sour cream and continue cooking until the Stroganoff is heated through. Be careful not to let it boil.
7. Serve the Stroganoff immediately over the cooked wide egg noodles, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or additional paprika if desired.

Egg noodles are traditional, but this creamy sauce also tastes amazing over mashed potatoes, rice, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option!
