This creamy beef stroganoff is a nostalgic comfort food made easy in the slow cooker, featuring tender beef in a rich, savory sauce served over egg noodles. It’s perfect for cozy family dinners, potlucks, or any night you need a warm hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini; optional)
  • 1 cup beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat or Greek yogurt)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
  • Extra black pepper (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Trim and cut beef into 1-inch cubes. Chop onion, slice mushrooms, and mince garlic.
  2. Add beef cubes to the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter onions, mushrooms, and garlic over the beef.
  3. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir for even coverage.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours (or HIGH for 3-4 hours) until beef is fork-tender.
  5. Blend sour cream and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Once beef is cooked, skim off excess fat if needed. Stir in sour cream and cream cheese mixture. Cook uncovered on LOW for 10-15 minutes until sauce is creamy and well-blended.
  7. Boil egg noodles per package instructions (about 7-8 minutes until al dente). Drain and set aside.
  8. Serve stroganoff over noodles, garnish with parsley and extra black pepper if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF pasta or serve over mashed potatoes. Blend sour cream and cream cheese before adding to prevent curdling. Use chuck roast for best tenderness. Add fresh herbs or peas for variation. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; freeze beef and sauce (without noodles) up to 2 months.
