In a large heavy skillet, heat bacon drippings or oil; saute onions until limp, add beef, crumbling with fork and cook until browned. Add cabbage and 3/4 cup water. Cover and simmer over medium heat 'til cabbage is wilted.
Sprinkle with onion soup mix and stir, mixing well. Add mushroom soup; rinse can with remaining 1/4 cup water, and add that water to the skillet. Stir in sour cream, cover and simmer over low heat for 45 min. Add cooked noodles and combine or serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.

Combine first 6 ingredients in bowl, mix well. Shape into balls. Brown meatballs on all sides in skillet. Pour off drips. Add soup and 1/3 cup of water.
Simmer the meatballs and all the sauce ingredients, except the sour cream, for 1/2 hour on medium low heat. Turn off the heat, then stir in the sour cream just before eating.
Do you want to add a little zing to your Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff? Well, prepare by following the directions and, right before you serve it, add 1/2 of regular or fat-free sour cream!
