Mom's Beef Stroganoff

There are many variations of Beef Stroganoff recipes out there and chances are your favorite recipe is the one you grew up eating it as a child. Some like it with or without mushrooms, peas, wine, tomato sauce, etc.

This is the recipe I grew up eating (lightened up a bit). Now, I don't usually make recipes with canned soup, but I've always enjoyed this as a kid, so I thought I would share Mom's recipe. It's been years since I've eaten this, and this was my family's first time tasting it, so they were the deciding factor if this would get posted or not. Two thumbs up from my picky daughter! She loved it, even ate the mushrooms to our surprise!

Growing up we ate this over egg noodles but to lower the points, why not serve this over spaghetti squash?
