Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef stew meat or chuck roast, cut into chunks
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup sour cream
Pasta and Garnish
- 12 ounce wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the beef, sliced onion, mushrooms, minced garlic, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Slow Cook Beef: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender enough to fall apart easily.
- Add Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the softened, cubed cream cheese and sour cream. Mix thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and fully melted.
- Incorporate Noodles: Add the cooked and drained wide egg noodles to the slow cooker and stir gently until the noodles are evenly coated in the silky stroganoff sauce.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the stroganoff into serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For extra richness, use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
- You can substitute beef broth with mushroom broth for a deeper mushroom flavor.
- Be sure not to overcook the noodles; add them just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat beautifully.
- Adding a splash of white wine or sherry before cooking enhances the flavor profile.
