Easy Hamburger Stroganoff is the simple weekday comfort food that you can make in a little of no time; Hamburger Stroganoff is one of my favorite, easy, economical, lazy night comfort dinners made from lean ground beef, white mushrooms, sweet Vidalia onions, wide egg noodles and a creamy homemade sauce that’s base has absolutely no canned soup added to it.
Easy Hamburger Stroganoff is a wonderfully hearty, weekday casual alternative to the original Beef Stroganoff, yet the flavor of this budget-friendly recipe is just as rich as the original. It’s one of the methods you’ll find that is generally husband approved and has a reasonably quick clean-up time to get you out of the kitchen in little or no time.
The original recipe for Beef Stroganoff has been attributed to the household of Count Pavel Stroganoff. The Russian’s interest in all things French extended to French cuisine, with the chefs of the great families striving to fashion their dishes in a more refined and elegant style. Beef Stroganoff may have also come about due to this infatuation with the French culture and cuisine; however, the first recorded appearance of the beloved dish in a cookbook is from 1871.
Beef Stroganoff was extremely popular in China and was commonly served in hotels and restaurants of China before the start of the Second World War. Russian and Chinese immigrants and our U.S. servicemen stationed in China brought several variations of Beef Stroganoff to the United States, which may account for its vast popularity in 1950’s American households.
We should all have one great tasting, hearty, go-to economical; husband approved a recipe with a quick clean-up time, and Easy Hamburger Stroganoff is one of my favorites. What’s your preference? I love hearing what Y’all are cooking up that’s deliciously easy with a quick clean-up time, so leave me a comment and let me know…

I’ve never quite understood the canned soup in stroganoff thing, as I was never brought up knowing it could even be made that way and couldn’t see the point anyway. This looks like a comforting meal.
