Ingredients: 1 lb extra lean ground beef; 1 (10 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, with liquid; 3 teaspoons beef bouillon powder; 2 cups hot water; 2 tablespoons flour; 1/2 cup cold water; 1 tablespoon mushroom soy sauce or 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 tablespoon onion powder; black pepper; salt; 1 cup sour cream

Servings: persons

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 (10 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, with liquid
3 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
2 cups hot water
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup cold water
1 tablespoon mushroom soy sauce or 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
black pepper
salt
1 cup sour cream

1
Brown the ground beef in a hot pan, adding a bit of water to prevent sticking if necessary. I have used a saucepan, electric frypan, as well as a skillet so use what you like.
2
Add garlic and onion powder, stirring to coat and toast a bit.
3
Add black pepper to taste.
4
Add mushrooms with liquid.
5
Add bouillon powder and hot water, mixing well.
6
Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Allow to simmer to develop the flavour. Five minutes is good, ten minutes is even better.
7
Whisk the flour into the cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the simmering beef mixture making sure no lumps form.
8
Increase heat so that mixture bubbles. Allow to bubble until thickened, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
9
Stir in the soy sauce, taste, and add salt only if needed. The soy sauce and bouillon are salty, so be careful. Diners can always add salt in their plate if needed, it is harder to take it out!
10
Serve over hot, cooked noodles with a dollop of sour cream for each person to mix in their plate.
11
If desired you can add 1/2 to 1 cup light sour cream directly to the sauce after removing it from the heat (rather than mixing it in your plate). However, we find it stores better without the sour cream.
