tools needed


Large Skillet: To cook the ground beef and onion. Make sure it's large enough to hold all the ingredients without overcrowding.

Spoon or Spatula: For stirring the ground beef and onion as they cook.

Can Opener: Necessary to open the cans of mushroom soup and sliced mushrooms. Unless you're the Hulk and can open them with your bare hands.

Measuring Cups and Spoons: Used to accurately measure the ingredients.

Stovetop: A no-brainer, but necessary for cooking the hamburger slop.

what goes with it?


Basic Egg Noodles: these simple noodles are the perfect vehicle for soaking up all that savory, meaty goodness.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes: the creamy, garlicky potatoes will add another layer of flavor to your already flavorful hamburger slop.

Steamed White Rice: the neutral flavor of the rice will let the bold flavors of the hamburger slop shine through.

beverage pairings


Wine Pairings
Merlot: This classic red wine with flavors of plum and black cherry can stand up to the savory richness of the dish. Its smooth tannins will complement the meaty flavors of the ground beef.

Chardonnay: If you're a white wine fan, opt for a buttery Chardonnay. The creaminess of the wine will pair nicely with the sour cream in the recipe, offering a nice balance to the savory flavors.

Zinfandel: A bold Zinfandel with its hints of dark fruit and spice can hold its own against the hearty flavors of this dish. The wine's boldness can stand up to the richness of the mushroom soup and ground beef.

Other Alcohol Pairings
Amber Ale: The malty sweetness and balanced hops of an amber ale can complement the savory notes of this dish. Look for a beer with a slight caramel flavor.

Gin and Tonic: The botanical notes in gin can play off the earthy flavors of the mushrooms in the dish. The effervescence of the tonic water can also help cut through the richness of the sour cream.

Irish Coffee: A cozy, warming Irish coffee can be a nice pairing with the creamy, savory flavors of the dish. The combination of coffee, whiskey, sugar, and cream can create a comforting contrast to the hearty meal.

Non-Alcoholic Pairings
Iced Tea: A refreshing glass of iced tea can act as a palate cleanser between bites of the rich, savory dish. The slight bitterness of the tea can help balance out the creamy elements in the recipe.

Sparkling Water: A bubbly and effervescent glass of sparkling water can provide a refreshing contrast to the meaty flavors. It's a simple, yet crisp beverage option to enjoy alongside the dish.

Lemonade: The tartness and sweetness of lemonade can add a zesty kick to the savory flavors of the dish. The citrus notes in the lemonade can help brighten up the overall flavors of the meal.
