Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain excess fat.
- Add the onion soup mix, tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce to the beef.
- Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes to develop flavors.
- Stir in the sour cream just before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider sautéing some fresh garlic or mushrooms with the ground beef before adding the soups. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt. For a vegetarian option, use plant-based ground meat and vegetable broth instead of beef. Remember to taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Quick Quik Stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. Pair it with steamed green beans or a simple salad for a balanced dinner. For a delicious dessert, finish with a slice of Gooey Chocolate Cake or some Nut Crisp Cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the stroganoff in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, but be careful not to overheat as it can curdle the sour cream.
