This is one of those posts that I have been meaning to update for the longest time. If you can believe it, this Hamburger Stroganoff was one of the very first recipes I shared on Love Bakes Good Cakes. So, to say I was embarrassed by the original picture is an understatement! I’m not a photography expert by any means, but I do get excited when I have the chance to re-shoot an old recipe. It gives me the chance to see how far I have come in this blogging journey! I hope you enjoy watching the progress as well! 🙂
This Hamburger Stroganoff recipe is great for those crazy nights! Not only is it super simple and quick, but since it uses ground beef, it’s a bit more budget-friendly … and I know we can all use some of that! For nights when I need dinner lightning quick (or those nights when I feel lazy!), I use canned cream of mushroom soup. I have had just as great of success with making my own cream sauce however, and so 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!

Delicious soup substitute was very good
This was so easy. Very good! I’m so glad I tried this recipe.
Great recipe. I think Id like to sauté the mushrooms with the onion and garlic next time to being out a bit more flavor. We will be making agon.
Love the recipe, thanks for sharing! Making this tonight.
I have been making this for over 40 years, my kids always loved it and I always served it with Peas:)
I grew up on stroganoff and never think to make it now. This homemade version looks delicious, Jamie!
First time I've heard a condensed soup substitute; what a great tip.
