Beef Stroganoff

This is comfort food for me from Mom's kitchen.  This is her simplified recipe.  It still tastes the same, only it's now a lot easier.

1 lb. ground beef

1 med. onion, chopped

sliced fresh mushrooms

1 can tomato soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 T worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper

1 c. sour cream

cooked wide egg noodles

Brown beef and saute the onions and mushrooms in a large skillet.  Add the soups and seasonings.  Just do it to taste.  When it is heated through, stir in the sour cream and serve over noodles.

Variations and hints:

*Substitute 1 cup TVP (see taco soup for more on TVP) reconstituted with 1 cup beef broth and some kitchen bouquet for color.  Use in place of the beef.

*Use chicken instead of beef.

*Serve over rice or toast (Grandma Sycamore's if you are lucky enough to have it).

*Mom used canned mushrooms, but we prefer fresh.
