Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff features hamburger meat and mushrooms served in a creamy sauce over egg noodles. It's always a family favorite!

2 lbs Ground beef or stew meat

4 cans Cream of mushroom soup

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  1. Combine beef, mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, milk, onions, and Worcestershire sauce in a slow cooker.

  2. Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 5 to 7 hours. Stir in cream cheese until well dissolved; cook for 1 hour more.

  3. During the last 20 minutes of cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fusilli to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  4. Serve stroganoff over fusilli and garnish with sour cream.

Cook's Notes:

Use a high-quality cream of mushroom soup, don't buy a cheap brand. It makes a difference.

No need to add extra liquid for the condensed soup, this is what the milk is for.

I grew up eating beef stroganoff, and I always loved it. The combination of silky egg noodles, creamy sauce and earthy richness was perfect on cold winter nights. My mom’s version of the dish combined a well-cooked pot roast, cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix to get a creamy texture and earthy flavor. My version is more decadent but just as easy to throw together as the one I grew up with.

When I adapted the classic, I wanted to keep the essentials — egg noodles, sour cream and beef — but instead of starting with pot roast, I opted for the firmer texture of ground beef. I replaced the onion soup mix with thinly sliced shallots and added fresh cremini mushrooms and a touch of brandy. I’ve also incorporated a sprinkle of fresh herbs, which add color and balance the richness of the dish.

Ingredients
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces cremini mushrooms
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
1/4 cup beef stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 package egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter

Directions
1. Coat the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker with a liberal layer of cooking spray.

2. Spread shallots across the bottom. Top with ground beef and mushrooms.

3. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, brandy (if using), beef stock, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients, breaking ground beef apart into smaller chunks. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

4. When 20 minutes remains, cook noodles according to package directions.

5. While the noodles are cooking, add sour cream and half the fresh herbs to the slow cooker. Stir and cover; heat through.

6. When pasta is tender, drain thoroughly and toss with butter.

7. Serve noodles topped with a generous portion of stroganoff, garnished with remaining herbs.

Tip: To get a milder, richer flavor from your shallots, caramelize them slightly by sauteing over medium heat in 1 tablespoon olive oil for 10 minutes before adding to the slow cooker. For even more flavor, deglaze the pan with the brandy or a bit of the beef stock to get all the tasty brown bits; pour over the shallots in the slow cooker.

    1. My wife and I wanted beef stroganoff but since we have a newborn it needed to be easy and simple to make. we saw this recicpe but I was sure I could make it work even though we didnt have all the exact ingredients. I modified the recipe as follows: While browning the meat I used a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic. We love garlic so is wasn't an issue for us. When adding the meat to the slow cooker with the other ingredients I made even more changes. I used a whole 14oz can of Progresso cream of mushroom soup and a whole 8oz can of Hunts tomato sauce since it is what I had on hand and didn't want small quantities of left overs. I was missing beef bullion cubes but had a packet of Lawry's Au Jus seasoning so I used the au jus instead. After doing all that I didnt feel there was enough mushroom for our liking so I saut?ed some fresh baby Bella mushrooms to add to the crock pot. This was then cooked per directions and right before we were ready to eat I boiled up some egg noodles. The resulting meal was incredible and the flavors were amazing. Hope this helps someone build a great dinner. We will be making this again.

    3. Errrr...what can I say... I wasted organic chopmeat!<br/><br/> But my McDonalds was YUMMY!

       

    4. 4-star rating for simplicity. I used a whole 8-oz can of tomato sauce (versus recipe calling for 4-oz can? do they sell 4-oz?). A wee bit salty, so I would recommend only using 3 boullion cubes. We put together w/ egg noodles.

       

    5. This was OK . Very quick and easy to toss into a crockpot. I added a couple can of water and cooked the pasta with it ( about the last 45 minutes or so of cooking time) Made for PAC Fall 2009

    What is stroganoff sauce made of?

    Sauce Ingredients: Butter, onion, garlic, white wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, flour and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) are the ingredients used to make classic beef stroganoff sauce.

    How do you make beef stroganoff better?

    The longer you simmer, the more tender it will be. If it starts to get low on broth, you can add some extra. The 2 hours in the recipe is important, even at 1 ½ hours the meat is still not tender enough, it's been tested that many times. I think what makes this the best beef stroganoff ever is the sour cream sauce.

    Can you make beef stroganoff the day before?

    Making beef stroganoff ahead of time is a smart strategy, not just for entertaining, but for busy weeknight meals. By making all or at least a portion of the dish a day or so beforehand, you'll cut down not only on cooking time, but on clean-up time, as well.
