Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff was so simple to make, and a real winner as far as taste and flavor goes. I got the inspiration from Pinterest from a great looking stroganoff. However, the link was bad, so I couldn’t get the recipe and do not know who to credit for the inspiration. There was a picture to help me get started; and the comments had some good info. I sort of just looked at that, and made up the rest. Then tweaked it over and over until, voila; a perfect crockpot beef stroganoff.
Now my kids and husband ask me to make slow cooker beef stroganoff regularly. It is one of those recipes I have a lot of fun with. One thing to keep in mind is to use quality egg noodles otherwise they break and aren’t as good!
Regardless, it tastes great, and requires very little effort. Step by step tutorial:
Gather your ingredients. I used a 5 quart crock pot.
Brown your meat and cook onions slightly in a skillet.
Mix together sauce, and put both sauce and meat and onions in 5 quart crock pot.
Cook for 4-6 hours on low, then add in cooked egg noodles.
Helpful Suggestions!
- Serve warm
- Healthful Add-ins: If you love green peas, rinse a cup or two of frozen or fresh green peas and add them to the beef stroganoff slow cooker with the noodles at the end. They will warm up fine and just right! They add a nice sweetness to the dish. Other healthful fresh add-ins ideas include diced tomatoes, grated carrot and zucchini, and chopped baby spinach leaves, or any of your favorite veggies. Get creative and give it a try to up your veggie intake!

Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 4 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 16 ounce package egg noodles
Optional Ingredients (Note: Many have adjusted this recipe, these are things that have been found to work well)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms
Instructions
- Start by chopping up your onion, and putting it in fry pan with your stew meat.
- Season with the garlic salt
- Cook just until the onion starts to get translucent and meat is browned on outside, but not cooked through.This will help keep the meat moist while it cooks in the crock pot. You can skip this and just dump everything into the crock pot, but it won't be as moist and tender when it is done. Taking a few minutes to brown the meat helps a lot.
- In a separate bowl, mix together milk, mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, and cream cheese. Stir well so not too lumpy. (If adding in the sour cream and mushrooms, do that here)
- Put sauce mixture and meat and onions in crock pot, put lid on, and cook on low for 4-6 hours. You can stir occasionally.
- Just before finished, boil water and cook noodles according to package directions.
- When noodles are cooked through, and drained, stir into crock pot. Let sit about 5 minutes, then serve.
