When I got married about twenty-seven years ago, my new Mother-in-Law gifted me her 1963 McCall’s Cook Book with the inscription “Happy Cooking!” For quite a few years, the recipes in this book were some of the only things I could make.
Armed with this cookbook, and a few family recipes from my Mom, I slowly began to expand my culinary repertoire. Dishes like the once a week tuna casserole with a potato chip topping became a thing of the past. This Hamburger Stroganoff Casserole recipe is inspired by of my favorites from the McCall’s Cook Book.
It’s been years since I made the Hamburger and Noodles Stroganoff from my early years of marriage, and I’m not quite sure what got me thinking about it last week. But it was time to give the classic casserole recipe a bit of an update. I’m liking how it turned out.
Hamburger Stroganoff Casserole
ingredients:
4 ounces wide egg noodles
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 pound ground chuck
1 tablespoon flour
1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can (10 1/2 ounce) beef broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dairy sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare noodles according to package directions, drain.
2. Meanwhile, in hot butter in a large skillet, saute the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute until onion is golden, about 5 minutes.
3. Add beef to the skillet. Cook and stir until it is browned. Remove from the heat. Stir in flour, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, salt and pepper.
4. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Blend in sour cream.
5. In a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish, layer a third of the noodles, then a third of the meat mixture. Repeat twice. Sprinkle with cheese.
6. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Do you have any old cookbooks that you still like to use?

That sounds delicious. Things like this usually go over really well with my boys, so I will definitely have to try it!
This looks so yummy, can’t wait to try it. My favorite cookbook is also a McCall’s but mine has a blue cover.
Learning to cook as a wife is certainly an adventure isn’t it? This recipe looks so yummy! It is always nice to revisit the past. 😉
As a kid, we ate a lot of Hamburger Helper, so I grew up with a ‘grudge’ against stroganoff. Then I tried it & realized how great it tastes, lol. Real stroganoff is so tasty! Definitely, pinning this one!
That looks AWESOME! Hamburger stroganoff on its own sounds amazing, but anytime you can put something into casserole form, it’s bound to be amazing!
What a quick and awesome recipe! I love casserole dishes, so quick and easy to cook for those busy days. My kids would eat this up!
This is certainly a great time of year for the casseroles, and this one looks so delicious!
Paired with a salad and that is a great meal. I like updating the old classics and making them new.
Love that! I have a cookbook I got for my wedding that I use all the time! What a great story.
Looks delicious! I love old cookbooks I have a whole shelf full.
This looks delicious. I definitely think this casserole recipe is something that would go over well with my husband and son.
This looks so good! As we head into fall savory dishes like this are a real hit with our family!
This sounds tasty – when the weather gets cold my hubby and I love casseroles. Pinned to make this Fall. Thanks
I love making one dish meals! This looks delicious!
This is a lot different then the stroganoff I make, but this recipe sounds great!!! I am totally gonna try your version!
This looks and sounds just like my mom used to make. I bet she got the recipe from the same cookbook. I have got to try making this for my family. I may even have my mom to dinner and surprise her. Thanks for the recipe!
That sounds good. I had a cook book that I used several years ago. I misplaced it or loaned it to someone. It had some great recipes.
Absolutely! When I moved to England to live on my own, my family gifted me a local cook book called ‘Naparima Girls’, it’s been in our family for years. I hate to cook, but when I have to do it, I turn to this book for guidance. I love that it’s very easy to follow.
This looks like it would be a simple dish to make. I cant wait to try it and add a few of my own twists to it. Thanks for sharing.
O yummy this looks amazing, I am so gonna try to make this. thank you for sharing it looks great.
I’d love to have my hands on that old cookbook. That looks really delicious. I’d like to eat that on a cold winter night.
This looks so good! Anytime you can convert something to a casserole, it’s bound to be amazing.
That looks delicious. It would be a great meal when the weather gets colder.
Oh I’m glad I just ate otherwise this would make me super hungry! This looks so good!
I have a very old cookbook of my Mom’s from the 50s that has some great recipes in it too. This sounds like something my family would love.
This looks perfect for a Sunday night dinner!
This sounds super yummy! I’ve added it to our meal plan for the week:)
There is nothing like old recipes that bring back memories. Plus, old recipes were not so health consious, so they tasted good.
Oh yum! Another comfort food that I absolutely MUST make this fall!
Such a childhood classic!
This sounds amazing. I know that my family would love it.
The hamburger stroganoff casserole looks so delicious. The dollop of sour cream on top is a creative finish.
This looks yummy and easy to make. My kids would gorge on this!
I have made this recipe many times, but I like your recipe better than mine!! This Hamburger Stroganoff looks so delicious. I will have to make this for a great Fall Dinner.
this looks really good. I’ll have to see if the kids would enjoy this
This is the kind of recipe my mom used to make. Makes me nostalgic to see it. 🙂
It just looks so appetizing! I would remake this one for a weekend dinner for sure.
I haven’t eaten stroganff since I was a kid. It was something my mom would make and add wine to it. I’m going to make this and bring her to her! Thanks!
I have a “The I Hate to Cook Book” – it’s fantastic so many yummy, simple and classic recipes are in it that I go back to time and time again.
I love how you went back to the basics sometimes there is nothing better. I was armed with an old Betty Crocker cookbook and still refer to it as well as some Camppbells cookbooks that cant be beat (those use alot of soup bases)
I do love casseroles… so easy and hearty, and you usually have leftovers. 🙂
Yes, I have a few that my mom gave me with covers torn off. I can’t bear to get rid of them! That looks delicious!
Ooh, I like your use of mushrooms and the broth. This sounds like a fantastic dinner as evenings get colder.
This looks so tasty, perfect for the fall days coming.
I love that gift idea for a new bride. There was a collection I knew how to make, but not much.
This is good. I’d skip the parm. though. I usually open a box of hamburger helper mix. Yes, that’s the extent of my cooking skills.
That looks awesome! I have my grandma’s old Betty Crocker one!
I always have a great time exploring new cookbooks. We are big casserole fans and this one looks unique and delicious!
It looks very tasty! I want to try it.
