Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 lb egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- Sour cream, for topping
Instructions:
- Brown the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Make sure to break it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain Fat:
- Once the ground beef is cooked, carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add Soup and Mushrooms:
- Add the two cans of cream of mushroom soup to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. If you’re using canned mushrooms, add them at this stage as well. Stir well to combine.
- Heat and Simmer:
- Allow the mixture to heat through, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Cook Egg Noodles:
- While the beef and soup mixture is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them once they’re cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve:
- Place a serving of the cooked egg noodles on each plate.
- Top with Beef Mixture:
- Spoon the hot beef and soup mixture over the cooked egg noodles.
- Add Sour Cream:
- Finish each plate by adding a dollop of sour cream on top of the beef mixture. The heat from the beef will warm the sour cream, creating a creamy and delicious topping.
- Optional Garnish:
- If desired, you can garnish the dish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or a dash of black pepper for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the “Poor Man’s Beef Stroganoff” immediately and enjoy this comforting and budget-friendly meal that’s reminiscent of home-cooked goodness.
