This is a recipe I came up with when I was helping to raise 6 kids. Every penny counted. You can add onions if desired.

Poor Man's Stroganoff

(12 egg noodles

beef

Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)

salt and black pepper

vegetable oil

(16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

sour cream

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain.


Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Season beef with Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper.


Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; add to ground beef.


Stir sour cream into ground beef mixture; cook and stir until hot, about 5 minutes. Serve over egg noodles.


I did add one large onion and a tablespoon of worchestershire sauce. This was a little thick, I did add a little canned milk to thin it out just a touch. Very rich, very good. NO LEFTOVERS. This reminds me of something similar Mom made for me when I was growing up.

I've seen many recipes for "ground beef" stroganoff over the years but this is the first time I've made one. The one thing that I didn't like was that the sour cream totally liquified once combined with the meat. The dish had zero eye appeal because of the watery texture. The Greek seasoning was a nice addition but overall this stroganoff was a disappointment. In all fairness it could be that I wouldn't like any ground beef stroganoff so moving forward I'll stick with the real deal version. Sorry olderguy for the less than favorable review.

Loved this!! I didn't have enough sour cream, so I substituted some half and half to make up for it. It gave it a nice, creamy texture and the sauce to go over the noodles. I added 1/2 a teaspoon more seasoning than the recipe called for as my family likes a lot of spice. I didn't have any brand name Greek seasoning blend so I used one I made from here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/231228/greek-seasoning-blend/ 
It turned out great too!!

Great recipe. I added a bit of garlic, a couple tablespoons of milk, slow simmered, and added the onions close to the end because I like my onions on the crunchy side for a bit more texture. Thanks for sharing! We loved it.

Average flavour profile but a good quick and easy meal. I actually added a teaspoon of McCormick Mild Curry Spice. It gave it a wonderful savory depth. Nice crisp peppers and steamed green beans complimented the dish nicely.

I made this without the noodles so basically just the beef... also added sauteed eggplant. It's a simple recipe but delicious and easy to make with little ingredients. I changed a bit but the idea was the same and I appreciate the inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

I liked it and easy to do for a quick supper

Love that Richard shared making this dinner for 6 kids. I have a large family to feed and this recipe saved time! Thank you.

I pretty much followed the recipe, except I cooked it for eight hours in a crockpot. I browned the onion before putting it in. I added a few sliced carrots and a bay leaf. At the end, it was a bit too runny, so I added some instant potato flakes to thicken it. So, I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but pretty darned close. Very tasty soup that I will make again!
