Lazy Stroganoff

This is what we make when we have ground beef and can't think of anything to make with it. It also has very few ingredients and we almost always have the stuff to make it...thus, it is a staple in our house.

1-1.5 pounds ground beef
1-2 cans or one big can of cream of mushroom soup
1 C sour cream
1-1.5 C milk
some onion powder
some garlic powder
salt
pepper

Brown beef, drain (or make a rue...but that's not the "lazy way" now is it?), add all ingredients. Add milk bit by bit until it's the thickness you like (it will thicken some). Simmer. Serve over rice or wide egg noodles.
