  • add meat mixture (oil, drippings and all) to the veggies.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the salt and pepper.
  • Let this cook until it is thick and the veggies are tender.
  • The"secret" is the ketchup.

As the title suggests, this was my Grandmother's recipe. I've tweaked the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what I've got in the fridge and it always turns out great! My mother has suggested this was made up as a way to use up ingredients in the fridge.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 large white onion, diced
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix sugar, salt, garlic salt and tomato sauce into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover skillet, and cool to room temperature.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and onion in a bowl.
  • Scoop half the noodles into the prepared casserole dish; top with half the sour cream mixture. Spoon half the ground beef mixture atop sour cream layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: Choose ground beef with a higher fat content (at least 80%) for a more flavorful stew.
  • Brown the beef in batches: To prevent the beef from steaming instead of browning, cook it in batches so that it has enough space to sear properly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just potatoes and carrots. Try adding other vegetables like peas, corn, green beans, or even chopped spinach.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a good quality beef broth or make your own by simmering beef bones in water with herbs and vegetables.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder if desired.
  • Let the stew simmer: The longer the stew simmers, the more time the flavors have to meld together. Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Hamburger stew is a hearty and comforting meal that can be served with a variety of sides. Try mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or a crusty bread roll.

Conclusion:

Hamburger stew is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful hamburger stew that will warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give hamburger stew a try.
