Ground Beef Stroganoff

Traditionally, Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish made of sautéed pieces of beef in a sauce with sour cream. Since becoming popular in other parts of the world, recipes have become as diverse as the chefs who make it. This is a recipe that my mom always used when we were young. Sometimes we ate it over rice, sometimes over pasta, and sometimes over potatoes. It is an easy recipe and is very quick to make.

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup sour cream
salt, pepper, and garlic to taste

On medium-high sauté beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is fully cooked and onion is soft. Add soups, sour cream, and seasonings. Simmer 5-10 minutes. In this particular batch I added chopped celery for a little crunch. We often ate this meal with grated cheese over top as well.
