Mama's Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish that has been enjoyed for generations. As with many dishes, it has undergone some changes to the recipe due to availability and popularity in other countries. In its original form, beef Stroganoff was made with strips of beef tenderloin sautéed in butter with mushrooms, onions, and mustard, and finished with sour cream. This version is easy to make and has canned mushroom soup in it to cut down on prep time. You can also make it vegan by replacing the beef with your favorite meat substitute.

Instructions

2.	Drain any excess fluid and add garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
3.	Next add the cream of mushroom soup and mushrooms to the skillet and stir until heated throughout.
4.	Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream. Stir until the mixture is heated, but do not allow it to boil.
