Beef Stroganoff originated in Russia in the 19th century and quickly spread throughout Europe and the United States. Traditionally, the dish is made with strips of beef tenderloin, onions, and mushrooms in a sour cream sauce. This recipe, however, offers a more affordable version using ground beef and condensed mushroom soup. It's a versatile dish that can be served over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Instructions

1.	Brown the hamburger and onion in a skillet until the hamburger is cooked through.
2.	Drain excess fat and stir in the mushroom soup, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3.	Cook on low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
4.	Add in the sour cream and frozen peas (if using), and cook until heated through.
5.	Serve over cooked pasta noodles.
