This Is the Recipe My Kids Ask Me To Make Every Time They Come Home!
We always called this “Poor Man’s Stroganoff” because it was made with hamburger. It is friendly on the budget but rich on flavor!
You know you have a winner recipe when your kid comes home from the Army and asks you to make his favorite meal, Poor Man’s Stroganoff!
I have changed it up a bit over the years. Sometimes I add fresh Rosemary, sometimes I toss in sliced mushrooms, or even diced bell pepper, but basically it is always the same and I think that is why it is one of Scott’s very favorite things to eat. It reminds him of home.
This is also a super easy recipe to teach young chefs in the making since it is so basic.
Being able to cook, when your kids leave the house is a big deal, maybe even bigger than you think so give them several recipes to perfect. It will be nice to know they can cook for themselves.
This is what Jamie of Love Bakes Good Cakes says about her budget friendly recipe.
For nights when I need dinner lightning quick (and let me be honest by saying, or those nights when I feel lazy!), I use canned cream of mushroom soup. However, I have had just as great of success with making my own cream sauce – and I have provided BOTH options for you! If you don’t mind canned soup, feel free to use that shortcut. If canned soup is not your style, no worries there either – the from-scratch sauce comes together quickly and easily!

Quick Tip: If you don’t have wide egg noodles you can try this same sauce with whatever noodles you have! Seriously, you might want to twists!
My mom used to make a similar dish but served over mashed potatoes. She called it hamburger gravy….yummm
Don’t know what ya’ll call this at our home it was Slumgullion.
I should start a thread of all the names people called this dish. So FUN to hear..I would have never guessed Slumgullion!
