If you're tired of eating Thanksgiving leftovers and need an alternative simple, inexpensive, and quick meal how about hamburger stroganoff? In this case, with spaetzle noodles for something a little different? The hamburger stroganoff is pure comfort food--warm, full of earthy mushrooms, and with plenty of sauce to dress the noodles. Even better, the stroganoff--noodles and all--cooks in one pan for easy cleanup. Because Thanksgiving often features rich food from which you might need a break, this version of stroganoff is made with reduced fat ground beef and low-fat sour cream. You won't have to do extra time on the elliptical if you eat it (in moderation). Try the stroganoff with a green vegetable and salad on the side.

Beef Stroganoff with Spaetzle

Beef Stroganoff with Spaetzle -- Serve 4+

1- 1 1/4 pounds of lean ground beef (93 percent)

1/2 cup of chopped onion

8 ounces of sliced button mushrooms

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

2 teaspoons of dried parsley flakes

1 teaspoon of paprika (sweet)

1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons of ketchup (yes, ketchup)

3 1/2 cups of water

2 teaspoon of reduced sodium beef "Better Than Bullion"

8-9 ounces of dried packaged spaetzle noodles (about 1/2 of a 17-18-ounce

package -- I use the Aldi brand)

3/4 - 1 cup of low-fat sour cream

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and onion and saute them for 10-15 minutes or until the meat has browned and the onion has softened. Stir in the mushrooms and cook them with the meat/onion mixture for another 5 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley flakes, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup and stir to combine everything. Stir in the water and "Better Than Bullion." Bring the mixture to a boil and add the noodles. Stir everything well, partially cover the pan, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the stroganoff cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring it every so often, until the noodles have softened and about 2/3 of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Yum, yum.
