Chef's Notes

How to Add Cream of Mushroom Soup

Make the recipe as-is and let it simmer and reduce. Add 1/2 can cream of mushroom and 1/2 cup milk and let it simmer and reduce again until thickened. You may choose to add 1/4 lb. more ground beef, or utilize the extra 'gravy' to incorporate vegetables.
If you prefer to use a whole can of cream of mushroom, add it with 1 cup of milk and use 1.5 lbs ground beef.

Ingredient Additions

Mushrooms: Cook them separately to release some of the water, concentrate their flavor, and give them a nice golden color. Mix them into the hamburger gravy at the end. This lets them retain their color, texture, and flavor.
Frozen Vegetables: Frozen Carrots, peas, corn, and green beans make excellent additions to this meal. Add them when the beef stock is added and let them heat up as the gravy thickens. 


Half and Half is a combination of 50% milk and 50% cream. Milk may be used instead if needed.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. This freezes and reheats well.

My Dad was a huge fan of Army SOS.  He would have LOVED this recipe!  I had it over a toasted English muffin.  I sprinkled some fresh chives on top to be fancy.  It was delicious.  I needed a little bit of salt on mine.  I would LOVE it over mashed potatoes even more because mashed potatoes are my favorite food ever.  Super good…you should try it!

The perfect fall evening meal! Super easy to follow and we enjoyed it with mashed potatoes & corn. I was a little worried at first it was going to be soupy but turned out great! Will make again 

Mari Stroud ★ 5.0/5

Excellent recipe! Granted, I omitted the garlic, onion powder, and garlic powder… I used dried chopped onion because it’s always in my pantry. I eat this over bread and it’s fantastic.

I make something akin to this and mix it with ramen noodles. I call it ramen stroganoff. I add a dollop of sour cream! Delish!
