Quick to prepare, creamy bear burger stroganoff, will bring smiles to your family or hunting buddies' faces.  Making this meal from scratch is just as easy as using the ubiquitous cream of mushroom soup and is so much fresher tasting. It is delicious and can be served with the classic egg noodles or on a bed of rice.

Make sure you do not let it boil too vigorously, heat and reheat gently. Enjoy with a loaf of crusty bread and a green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. Add a rich red wine to complement the flavors and enjoy.
