HAMBURGER HELPER BEEF STROGANOFF
(recipe by The Defined Dish)
Ingredients
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1lb ground beef, 85% lean
1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp dijon mustard
4 cups wide egg noodles, uncooked
4 cups beef broth
2 tbsp white w**e vinegar
8 oz light sour cream
2-3 springs of fresh thyme, leaves only for serving
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil.
Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef. Brown the beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
[If you feel like there is too much excess fat, drain off but reserve about 2 tablespoons of the fat to saute the mushrooms in.]
Add the dijon mustard and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until well-combined and when the mushrooms have soaked up some of the excess fat and are softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Then, add the uncooked wide egg noodles, beef broth and white w**e vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until noodles are tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 12 minutes. (NOTE: I like to cook the noodles separately then mix together when I serve the dish.)
Remove skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
Garnish with thyme, serve and enjoy!
