My grandmother labeled this recipe simply, Judy's. She must have been at a party, because she wrote the recipe on a pink napkin. My grandmother was a very social creature, she loved attending social event.
Mix together: 1 pound of ground beef and 1 cup chopped onions in a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt. More if you like. Some dry parsley. Sauté for 1 minute. Now add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon Accent Spice, 1 bay leaf, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and the same with the salt, 1/2 teaspoon basil - (use the dry, not the fresh picked), 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 3 1/2 cups of Contadina tomatoes, 1 1/3 cup condensed tomato paste. Simmer for 1 hour uncovered, stirring occasionally.
1 pound of extra wide noodles
1 pound of hamburger
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic (I like using the garlic from the little jars - mom didn’t have that luxury back in the day)
2 tablespoons flour
2 cubes of beef flavored bouillon cubes or about a cup of beef stock
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup - or make your own mushroom soup
1 cup water
1 cup fresh mushrooms (or 1 tiny can of drained mushrooms - the recipe is different for fresh vs. can)
8 oz container sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley - optional
1 can of sweet peas - optional , as mom used them on a whim
In large skillet, brown the hamburger a little. Add the onion, garlic and - at this point, if you are using fresh mushrooms, add them - do not add the can mushrooms, if using these, they will be added later. Stir until onions and fresh mushrooms are tender and beef is browned. Add 1 tablespoon flour, bouillon (or cup of beef stock) bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon of flour and parsley - if you like parsley. Stir and add sour cream. Add peas if desired. Heat without boiling - boiling will scaled the sour cream. You are just trying to get everything hot again. The sour cream and peas brought the temperature down. Add finished mixture to cooked noodles and serve. It will thicken when cool in the fridge, mom just added some water when reheating.
