Hamburger Stroganoff

This is another recipe that is not much to look at visually.  Believe me though, this meal never fails to hit the spot for me.  Never.  I don't know why, but it's just tasty.  It was especially delicious to me when I was pregnant.  It is comfort food at its finest.  It's also fast and easy, so it makes a great weeknight meal.  It's great over rice or egg noodles.  I have come to prefer rice over the years. 


Hamburger Stroganoff
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 onion, finely diced
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon flour
1 can cream of mushroom soup
garlic salt, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup sour cream

Directions:
Saute onions in olive oil or butter over medium heat for about five minutes.  Add ground beef and cook until meat is no longer pink.  Add flour and spices and stir for about a minute.  Pour in condensed soup and stir.  Mixture will be very thick.  Bring to a simmer, and reduce heat.  Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.  Add sour cream and heat through.  Serve over rice or egg noodles.

Notes:
--Do not bring the stroganoff to a boil after adding the sour cream.  The flavor of the sour cream is best that way.
--If your kids do not like onions, you can grate the onions into the mixture when you add the cream of mushroom soup.  Grated onion is stronger, so only grate about half an onion.

Enjoy!
