Hamburger Stroganoff

1/2 Cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 Cup margarine
1 lb. ground beef (best to use lean or extra lean as you don't drain the fat)
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp pepper
Salt to taste
1 lb mushrooms, sliced (or 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained)
1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
1 Cup sour cream
Parsley

Sauté onion & garlic in margarine over medium heat. Stir in meat and brown. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Cook about 5 minutes. Add soup. Stir and simmer (uncovered) 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream and heat through. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve on hot pasta or rice.


Makes 6 servings

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: About 20 minutes, give or take.


Note: I recommend putting in half the required amount of sour cream, tasting it, then adding the rest as needed to taste. This meal may scare you the first time as it turns out, um, grey, but it tastes and smells out of this world.
