A comforting slow cooker beef stroganoff with tender beef, mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce, perfect for busy nights and minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into 1 to 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice into thin pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Place beef chunks in the slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly over the beef, then add sliced mushrooms on top. Pour in beef broth. Do not stir.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until beef is fork-tender and mushrooms are soft.
  5. About 20 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles or pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
  6. Turn off the slow cooker and stir in sour cream until sauce is creamy and smooth. Avoid heating after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  7. Serve beef stroganoff over cooked noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

To thicken sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into slow cooker before adding sour cream. Let cook on high for 15 minutes. Stir sour cream in off heat to avoid curdling. For gluten-free, substitute onion soup mix with onion powder and herbs and use gluten-free pasta. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or cream instead of sour cream.
