My entire family loves it. With just a little bit of prep, your slow cooker you can have this dish cooking while you go about your day. The prep is minimal and the results from slow cooking are amazing.
You can make Beef Stroganoff on the stove but I like cooking it in the slow cooker. Slow cooking the beef really allows the meat to be oh so tender. My recipe uses cream of mushroom soup. Sure, you can find recipes for how to make Beef Stroganoff with no cream of soups but I like to keep my recipes quick and simple. To make this recipe without the canned soup, you could make Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup. I have done that in the past when I am not needing a quick and easy dinner.
A few of my kiddos despise mushrooms. I usually slice our mushrooms as big as I can so they can pick them all out easily. But, they love the creamy sauce in Beef Stroganoff and never notice the mushrooms from the soup. If your family is really picky about mushroom flavor, you can make Beef Stroganoff without cream of mushroom soup. Just substitute in a cream of celery soup instead of the cream of mushroom.
I used our large 6 qt slow cooker for this recipe. Mine has a cast aluminum insert so I can just brown my meat right in the Crock-Pot. If you have a basic ceramic insert, you will need to brown your meat on the stovetop which is very quick and easy. You will just have an extra dish to clean up, it will have no effect on the overall recipe.
I used a chuck roast for our Beef Stroganoff. Are you wanting to know what kind of meat to use to make Beef Stroganoff? Since this recipe uses the slow cooker, you can use a less tender cut of beef. I have used precut stew meat, you could even use a round or rump roast cut into cubes. The longer your meat slow cooks, the more tender it will become.
Some make Beef Stroganoff without sour cream. Some make it with cream cheese instead. We make our recipe with sour cream. My husband is not much of a fan of sour cream but really likes the flavors in the beef stroganoff sauce. If you prefer to use cream cheese, go ahead. You could additionally use low fat sour cream if you are watching your calorie intake.
