Meat Cream Sauce:
1 lb ground beef
1 small diced onion {optional for extra flavor}
1 tablespoon of minced garlic {optional for extra flavor}
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
- Cook ground beef on stove with onion and garlic. The garlic and onion add extra flavor, but I make this dish with out if I am short on time or do not have the ingredients on hand.
- Add mushroom soup, milk and sour cream. Stir until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Optional. If I have cream cheese or mozzarella on hand I add it to the sauce until smooth.
You can use your own egg noodles if you have some on hand, but when I saw that my favorite egg noodles were not on sale and I did not have a coupon I decided to make my own. These are super yummy, easy and fun! This is the same noodle recipe from our favorite Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup.
Making Homemade egg noodles:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 full egg shell of milk
- Put a pot of water on the stove to boil.
- Place flour in a small bowl, making a dent in the center. Carefully the crack egg shell- put egg in the center of the flour. Use 1/2 of the egg shell you just cracked, fill it with milk and stir into the flour and egg mixture using a fork. Dough needs to be slightly sticky and form a ball, so if needed, add just a touch more milk until the right consistency.
- On a well floured bread board or surface, carefully roll out the dough until very, very thin (almost paper thin). Dough will be stretchy and very tender. Using a Pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin noodles -length of your choice. It is okay if the noodles are not perfect and it is not necessary to dry the noodles. We like to lay them over a bowl so until the water is boiling.
- Slowly sprinkle and stir the cut noodles into rapidly boiling water it is important to put the noodles in this way – so they do not stick together in a lump. Turn down heat to a low boil and cook noodles until tender (approx 20-30 minutes). Stir every so often to prevent noodles from sticking.
I am considering getting a pasta maker to speed the process up even more. This is the best rated one for under $30!
This Pasta Maker sells for $29.99 and is rated well on Amazon. Do you have one you recommend? Or if you have one are they worth it?
Monica, I have always wanted to try making my own pasta! This sounds much easier than I thought. So if the noodles are not dry, do they stil cook 1/2 hour?
I would say they take about 20-30 minutes.
I use the liptons dry onion soup mix and a little water when I;m cooking the hamburger.
That sound like a great way to flavor your meat. I will try that next time. I have some in my stockpile.
