JUST SAY NO to Hamburger Helper. My family LOVES this (and so do I). And YES, I make mine with butter. I mean come on, Paula Deen is my hero. I SUPPOSE you could substitute the butter for olive oil...but really, WHY? OH and if you wanna do the "healthy" thing... ground turkey works equally as well as ground beef.

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (ok ok...you can use lite)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons minced garlic (start with 2 then add the 3rd to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

How To Make torrey's beef (or turkey) stroganovski

  • Step 1
    Brown and drain hamburger (or ground turkey) and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In large frying pan, melt butter and saute onions and mushrooms (you can use ANY type of mushrooms--white button, cremini, portobello, shiitake, oyster, chantarelle...or a combo). When they have rendered their juice...pour it off and save it for the sauce.
  • Step 3
    Then, add the EVOO to the pan and continue to cook the heck out of the onions/shrooms until they are CARMELIZED. This takes awhile. I'm talking the onions and shrooms need to be cooked all the way down and BROWNED. REALLY brown. Trust me.
  • Step 4
    Add the garlic near the end of the mushrooms' cooking time, otherwise it will burn and turn bitter.
  • Step 5
    In a saucepan, combine reserved juice from onions/shrooms with condensed soup. Add Worcestershire sauce, Oyster sauce, Pick-A-Peppa sauce, sour cream and salt and pepper. Stir well. Heat until warm, and make sure you stir it well while heating it.
  • Step 6
    Add hamburger (or ground turkey) and cooked onions/mushrooms and stir gently until everything is coated.
  • Step 7
    Serve over cooked pasta. Goes great with hot sourdough bread on the side--slathered in butter, of course! Come on...life is TOO short to eat alfalfa sprouts and tofu.
