Easy Hamburger Stroganoff

I love meals that combine three important elements:
1. Fast and easy to make.
2. Tasty and reasonably healthy.
3. Something that the kids will also enjoy.
Not every meal works out with all three criteria, but occasionally I hit a trifecta, and this really easy Hamburger Stroganoff recipe is one of them. Using canned soup in the recipe isn’t as healthy as it would be without, but it cuts down on the time and if you use the reduced-sodium brands they’re not bad at all.
Easy Hamburger Stroganoff:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream (low fat doesn’t affect the taste at all)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers (optional but really adds a nice flavor)
- Egg noodles or fettucine
Boil a pot of water and cook pasta. Meanwhile, cook beef thoroughly and drain fat; I usually season mine with some garlic powder as well. If using, stir in green peppers and cook for a minute or so. Slowly stir in cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix well, then heat through.
Serve over noodles. A salad on the side rounds the meal out.
My kids love this. Normally neither one will touch a green pepper with a ten foot pole, but for some reason they like it in this meal.
