I’ve always been a fan of rich and creamy sauces and beef stroganoff is a prime example.  Whether it’s a more labor intensive gourmet version (recipe to come!) or a simple but thoroughly delicious crock pot beef stroganoff, I love them both.  With it’s robust flavors of beef and mustard combined with the delicate flavors of cream and herbs, it’s a dish I always look forward to sitting down to and it makes for the perfect comfort food.

I threw this crockpot beef stroganoff together one Sunday a few years ago before our family headed out to church so it would be ready when we got home.  When we opened the door we were met with that delicious aroma and we could hardly wait to get the noodles boiled so we could sit down and enjoy our family dinner!

Which Cut of Beef Should I Use?

Use chuck roast or stew meat cut into bite-sized pieces.  Using a marbled cut is important because the fat will melt during the low and slow cooking process, making the meat tender and moist.

Do I Have to Brown the Beef First?

No.  The thing that makes this slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe so easy is the ability to throw all of the ingredients in and then step aside and wait.

That said…if you do have the time, browning the meat, onions, and mushrooms in a frying pan before adding them to the slow cooker will add a lot of flavor to your stroganoff.  But if you’re in a hurry no worries, it will taste delicious either way!

What to Serve with Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff?

Egg noodles are the traditional accompaniment.  If you prefer, you can use another pasta of choice or even use Spaetzle.  For sides, stroganoff pairs great with any steamed veggie and/or a leafy green salad.

    Looks like a great recipe. I’m making it today. Quick question… There are two different timings for the crockpot. Which one is correct? Is it 7-8 hours on low and 4-5 hours on high? Or is it 2-3 hours on high and 4-6 on low? Thanks so much!

      Hi Anne-Brigitte, sorry for the inconsistency. 6-8 on low or 4-5 on high. Less if you’re using a more tender cut of beef.
