This is definitely a comfort food recipe.
There are a lot of flavors in this recipe.
You get a great earthy flavor from the mushrooms. Combined with the onion and hamburger, it gives you a very full flavor.
Then the paprika changes everything to a more goulash or Hungarian flavor.
The you add the sour cream and it takes on some stroganoff properties.
The buttered crumbs give you a nice touch of butter and a crispy top crust.
The elbow noodles give the dish a macaroni feel. It really does seem like there is cheese in the dish, even though there isn’t!
The dish was filling and packed full of flavor.
