Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Description
This recipe starts by seasoning beef stew meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, then slow cooking it with onions and beef broth for eight hours on low. This slow cooking breaks down the meat to tender perfection, immersing it in the flavorful juices.
Finishing involves mixing sour cream, cream cheese, cornstarch, and beef broth to create a smooth, creamy sauce that is stirred back into the slow cooker and cooked briefly longer. Pasta cooked al dente is served alongside or beneath the saucy beef, making a rich, comforting dish.
Fresh parsley garnish can add color and brightness. Adjust cook times based on your slow cooker; high heat can reduce cooking time. Adding mushrooms is an option for extra flavor and texture. This meal is suitable for easy, warming dinners with minimal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1/4 cup onion yellow onion suggested, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth low sodium if you are sensitive to salty flavors, separated

Instructions
- Prepare slow cooker by greasing or spraying interior with non-stick oil. Add stew meat, then top with onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well mix seasonings in with meat. Add 2 cups beef broth, stir and cook covered on low for 8 hours.
- At the 8 hour mark, in a medium size bowl combine remaining 1/2 cup of beef broth with corn starch, and mix well, until all cornstarch is dissolved and incorporated into broth. Scoop out a few spoonfuls of the hot liquid from the slow cooker, and add it to the cornstarch and broth mixture, stir to combine. To that mixture add sour cream and cream cheese and mix until combined and smooth. Spoon the mixture into slow cooker, and stir to combine with ingredients in slow cooker. Place lid back onto slow cooker and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
- During that final 20 minutes cook time, cook pasta according to package directions for a dente pasta. Take care not to overcook pasta. Drain, but do not rinse pasta. Add cooked pasta to the slow cooker and gently stir to combine. Serve immediately, topped with salt and pepper to taste, and fresh parsley or thyme for garish, if desired.
Notes
- Optional 1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms can be added with beef for added flavor and texture.
- Cooking on high is possible and reduces time to about 4-6 hours, depending on your slow cooker.
- Since slow cooker temperatures vary, check for beef tenderness to determine doneness.
