How To Make Beef Stroganoff In The Crock Pot

One of the things I love about this recipe is that you can add raw meat to the slow cooker. That’s one less step you have to take, which makes this such an easy recipe.

1. Add the ground beef, onion seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper to the Crock Pot. Mix the ingredients a little bit.
2. Next, pour in the beef broth and cream of mushroom soup and mix up the ingredients.
3. Place the lid on top and cook on the low setting for seven hours.
4. After seven hours, chop up the meat a little and add the sour cream and chunks of cream cheese. Mix and replace the lid for about one more hour.
5. Remove the lid and give everything a stir to make sure the cream cheese has melted. Pour the stroganoff sauce over the cooked egg noodles and serve.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Add the ground beef to the Crock Pot.

My meat was mostly thawed out. You don’t want to stick totally frozen meat in the cooker, or it will take longer to cook.

Next, add the minced and dried onion seasoning.

You can add fresh diced onions if you have some, but I used the seasoning. Either one will work great.

Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the cooker.

Pour the beef broth over the meat.

Add the mushroom soup to the slow cooker and mix the ingredients. Place the lid on top and cook on the low setting for seven hours.

After seven hours, remove the lid and chop up the meat a little. Add the cubed cream cheese.

Next, add the sour cream and mix the ingredients. Some of the cheese will melt.

Replace the lid and cook for another hour or so.

Mix all of the ingredients until the cheese is totally melted. Scoop up the beef stroganoff and pour it over the egg noodles and serve!

Classic Beef Stroganoff Recipe With Ground Beef

My slow cooker ground beef stroganoff comes together with just a few simple ingredients. No need to brown ground beef. Like I mentioned before, I just add it to the Crock Pot raw with the other ingredients.

You’ll need both minced and dried onion, minced garlic, beef broth, a can of cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper.

When it’s done, you’ll serve it on a bed of egg noodles. The creamy sauce is a match for adding fresh mushrooms, too, if you’d like. This delicious meal also looks beautiful when you garnish each plate with fresh parsley.

Notes

Cutting the cream cheese into smaller pieces will help it melt faster.

Some people don't like cream of mushroom soup, so you can replace it with cream of chicken. It will taste a little different but still be delicious.

If your beef stroganoff is not thick enough, you can mix up a tablespoon of cornstarch and water and add it to the Crock Pot. But you will need to give it at least 30 minutes to thicken.
