Hamburger Stroganoff

This is a meal that Milo loves. It is probably his favorite and always eats a lot of it. It is also a quick and easy recipe. We got it from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook.

Hamburger Stroganoff

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Hot cooked noodles or rice

Cook beef, onion and garlic in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown. Stir in soup and salt. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream; cook until hot. Serve or noodles or rice.

*MY VARIATION: I cook the ground beef in a micro-cooker and add dry onions (to cover most of the meat) and garlic powder (a pinch or two). We normally double the sauce. I sometimes won't put any salt in. For the sour cream, I usually put two or three big spoonfuls in, not really measuring it, but I don't put in as much as the recipe calls for.
