Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup sliced button mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 package (16 ounces) egg noodles, cooked
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 container (8 ounces) sour cream
2 cans (10.75 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 package (1 ounce) brown mushroom sauce

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the ground beef and sliced mushrooms. Season them with kosher salt and black pepper. When the beef is cooked through, drain the fat and set it aside.

Whisk together the milk and cream cheese. Add the package of brown mushroom sauce and mix well. Heat this mixture in a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer.

Add the 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, and then add the meat mixture to the soup mixture.

Add the meat and soup mixtures to the cooked egg noodles and toss well to blend all the ingredients. Serve warm.

Serves 6 to 8

Food for Thought - You might want to add a little spice to contrast with the richness of this dish. Add 3 splashes of Tabasco or other hot sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of crushed red chili flakes. And if you're brave enough, add a dash or two of cayenne pepper.
