Mom's Hamburger Stroganoff

As the temperatures drop, a definite craving for warm comforting foods begins to emerge. One of my husband's (and mine!) all time favorite comfort-foods is his mom's recipe for hamburger stroganoff.

This delicious pasta dish was passed down to me when I joined the family as the newest Mrs. Cochran and not only is it affordable and quick, it is creamy and simply soul-warming!

Mom's Hamburger Stroganoff

serves about 4

1 lb. hamburger

4 TB chopped onion

1/4 cup butter

1 can golden mushroom soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 whole bay leaves

Brown the hamburger. In another pan, melt butter over medium heat and add onion. Saute until just done. Add both cans of soup plus 3/4 of a can of water for each. Bring to a boil. Add hamburger, noodles and bay leaves. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 15-20 min. or until noodles are tender. Stir in sour cream just before serving.
