Easy Stovetop Ham Cheddar Mac & Peas

I sort of based this one on a recipe we had before called "Country Ham and Macaroni Casserole" except I kept it all on the stove top this time and skipped the topping. I also added peas to the dish... so I suppose maybe I need to write this one down since I changed it so much. I just got the idea to add everything to the boiling water. Basically what I did was take 16oz of macaroni and boil it. When it was almost done I added 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1.5 cups of chopped ham, and 6oz of frozen peas to the water. When it was all warm and done I drained it and returned it to the pot. Then I added 8oz of sour cream and 8oz of sharp cheddar cheese. I sprinkled a little garlic powder and a little salt in and that was that. It was really yummy, we all liked it, and it was so easy! So, here it is in proper recipe form:
