Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Soup Mix
- 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
Mushrooms and Finishing
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms, fresh or canned
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Place the beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes into the slow cooker base evenly.
- Add soups and seasoning: Pour the entire can of cream of mushroom soup over the beef, then sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly on top.
- Add mushrooms and combine: Scatter the sliced mushrooms over the mixture and gently stir everything together to combine without breaking the beef cubes.
- Slow cook the stroganoff: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and flavors are well blended.
- Finish with sour cream: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream thoroughly to create a creamy sauce. Re-cover and let it heat through gently.
- Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot over cooked egg noodles or rice for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Using fresh mushrooms will add more texture and flavor, but canned mushrooms work well too.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and taste even better after flavors meld overnight.
- Egg noodles are traditional, but mashed potatoes or cauliflower rice are great low-carb alternatives.
- Make sure not to add the sour cream too early as it can curdle under long cooking times.
