Hamburger Stroganoff

This is one of my favorite meals. You can make it with or without mushrooms. I always sauté the mushrooms on the side so people can choose to add them or not.

½ cup minced onion
1 clove of minced garlic
¼ cup butter
1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 lb fresh slice mushrooms
1 can (10 ½ oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream

Sauté onion and garlic in butter over medium heat. Stir in meat and brown. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in soup. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Heat through. Garnish with parsley. Serve with noodles or rice. I prefer rice.
