Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is a hearty and comforting weeknight dinner waiting for you. Tender beef, rich savory sauce, mushrooms, and served over a bed of egg noodles.

I grew up hating Beef Stroganoff with a passion. My mom’s recipe used cream of mushroom soup which I could not stand as a kid. Mind you I was a very picky eater and hard to please.

The list of foods I would eat was short. I know I gave my parents a very hard time with eating as a kid. Thankfully I grew out of it and now am willing to try just about anything at least once. A big change from my 8 year old self!

This recipe for Beef Stroganoff does not include cream of mushroom soup and is also made in the slow cooker. It uses fresh mushrooms not canned – which I still don’t like.

    Dump and Cook Slow Cooker Recipe

    My niece, Avery, was visiting over the holidays and spent the night at our house. She’s six years old and cute as a button. She’s also very intelligent and told me that she loved the recipe. She cleaned her entire plate! She is not picky like my girls! Bridget would only eat the sauce as long as I didn’t get any mushrooms in it. Olivia ate it and thankfully has outgrown her picky behaviour.

    I would make this more often if the steak wasn’t so darn expensive. It’s funny because the steak was cheaper in Nova Scotia, but the chicken was pricey. Here in Ontario, it’s the opposite!

    We eat more chicken, but I do like to mix it up with beef every so often.

    What is the Best Beef for Beef Stroganoff

    You are welcome to use any type of beef you would like. Whether you buy beef stew meat, flat iron steak, or more. You will want to cut up your steak for this recipe. 

    You will find that better quality beef will give you a more tender and flavorful stroganoff. But since it cooks low and slow for such a long time, it will do great tenderizing even tastier. 

    Why Do You Let the Crock-Pot Cool Before Storing in Sour Cream 

    You will need to let your crock pot cool down a bit because if you dump the sour cream in while it is pretty hot you will find it curdles right away. You can also whisk in the sour cream to help it to incorporate it into the mixture.

    Can I Make this Beef Stroganoff on the Stove 

    Of course, you will do essentially the same steps but you won’t cook for near as long. You would turn the stove to low once you begin cooking and stir occasionally. Once your steak is fully cooked and begins to get tender, you can then turn off for 15 minutes just like the slow cooker method. Then stir in the sour cream and serve. 

    How Long Does Beef Stroganoff Store for

    You can store this stroganoff in the fridge for up to three days. Anything after that you will want to use your best judgment in terms of if the dish has spoiled. 

    Then to reheat you can toss in the microwave for a quick reheat, stovetop or if you want to make a lot crockpot for reheating. It is totally up to you on how you choose to reheat your beef stroganoff. 

    This truly is a hearty, comforting and delicious dinner. If you want to serve up a tasty meal but don’t want a ton of prep, give it a try and let me know how you like this recipe.

      I have often made Beef Stroganoff many times but not lately. I really love this dish. Thank you so much for this recipe for the slow cooker., and for sharing it with us.

    2. Do you think adding the broth and flour mix to the zip lock bag would work the same if I make this a freezer meal or wait and mix day of cooking?
