- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the beef chunks, sliced onion, mushrooms, minced garlic, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crockpot. Stir everything together until well combined to evenly distribute the seasonings and flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Cook until the beef is fall-apart tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
- Finish the Sauce: About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the softened cream cheese and sour cream into the slow cooker. Mix until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and the cream cheese has fully melted.
- Prepare Egg Noodles: While the stroganoff finishes cooking, cook the wide egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- For best results, use chuck roast for a more tender, flavorful beef.
- Cooking on LOW is preferred for more tender meat, but HIGH works if you’re short on time.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dish, but add it off heat to prevent curdling.
- Feel free to add a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings; adjust cooking time accordingly.
