The Absolute BEST Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Recipe, the Best

Kim

Oh my gosh! This was so good and so easy. I think the hardest part was looking for the Golden Mushroom Soup. Seriously. I found this recipe and it had almost 5 stars out of over 1250 reviews. How could that many people love beef stroganoff was my first thought and then I saw the small list of ingredients and was very surprised. How strange something that this many people thought was good was made without a large mixture of spice and flavors. I made it, but as is my compulsion I added to it.

The Absolute BEST Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Recipe, the Best (1) Oh, and I doubled it the second time I made it. It is so good as leftovers and you might think this is sick, but I put some of the gravy/sauce on mashed potatoes, oh wow!

2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 largish onion diced
2-3-4 tabls of Worcestershire (this stuff is so awesome I always add more)
1/2 water
8 oz of cream cheese (the first time I made this with just 1lb of meat I still added 8 oz's, sshh don't tell my lactose intolerant hubbie)
couple of dashes of Garlic Salt (1 tsp?)
couple dashes of Hot Paprika (see I just can't believe this would be good without some sort of kick)

In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients, except the meat AND the Cream Cheese, together. Once combined add the meat and mix together.

Cook on Low for 8 hours. Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes.

Serve over egg noodles. Or mashed potatoes, I won't tell anyone but I would really like to not be alone in this.

    Oh yes - I used this recipe before as well and LOVE it!
    And since you are spilling your secrets, I made toast and poured the leftovers over it for my own odd version of an open face sandwich.

    Ooooh, that sounds great. Hubby loves stroganoff, but I've never made it; I'm scared! Haha. I found your blog while googling "crock pot pork chops"... and found that you've got a few blogs linked that I have, too! Woohoo!

    I want to make this recipe but I don't know how many it serves. Also, when doubling it, which ingredients other that the meat do you double?

    Tofutti makes non-dairy "better than sour cream" and "better than cream cheese that are non-dairy and taste FINE alone or in dishes calling for the real deal.

    That Tofutti advice I just left includes their cream cheese plain on toast, with jelly, with lox - it's that good!

    You have "1/2 water" in your recipe. 1/2 what? Is it 1/2 cup that you mean?

    Half a cup of Water. This can serve 8-10 ppl. So good to freeze BEFORE adding the cream cheese. Just re-heat on the stove and add cream cheese 10 minutes before serving. The meat becomes even more tender when reheated after freezing-perfect for toast.

    Sorry for not responding in almost a year please see my comment under "K" above. This is still a family favorite and anyone that eats it wants the recipe.

    Looks delicious!

    Here's a recipe I like, although it calls for a slightly more expensive cut of meat, so is more of a special occasion version.

    Damn good though!

What is the best substitute for sour cream in stroganoff? ›

How do you thicken beef stroganoff sauce? ›

One way to thicken beef stroganoff is with flour or cornstarch. These are both common cooking ingredients that will help create an excellent thickening agent for beef stroganoff recipes.

Why is my beef stroganoff so tough? ›

Insert an instant-read thermometer into a few random cubes at the end of the cooking time to make sure that they are at least 145 degrees F, which is medium-rare. Do not cook them over 180 degrees or they will become tough.

What is the sauce in beef stroganoff 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. If you prefer not to cook with wine, feel free to just add in a little extra beef stock instead.

What can I add to my beef stroganoff to give it more flavor? ›

Sauté button mushrooms, then brown the beef in the same pan and deglaze the pan with beef broth. For more complexity, prepare a sauce with onion, tomato paste, brown sugar, chicken broth, and wine.

Can you add sour cream to stroganoff without curdling? ›

You are combining essentially what is a hot stew and cold sour cream out of the fridge. This is what causes the cream to curdle. I like to err of the side of caution and I let the pot and its contents cool completely, then I stir through the sour cream, no more curdling!

How do you stop cream curdling in beef stroganoff? ›

How do you keep sour cream from curdling in beef stroganoff? Remove some of the liquid from your stroganoff and allow it to cool. In a small bowl, take several tablespoons of the sour cream (or however much you require) and then add a teaspoon of the cooled liquid from the stew.

Can I use evaporated milk instead of sour cream? ›

And, as it is made of cream, it is not safe for a dairy-free diet or those who are vegan. Luckily, there are other ingredients you can use to substitute for sour cream, from plain yogurt to evaporated milk to cottage cheese.

Should I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? ›

Full-fat Greek yogurt will offer the closest approximation of sour cream's flavor and texture, and can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sour cream. If you'd like, you can stir some heavy cream into any percentage of Greek yogurt to give it a somewhat richer body and higher fat content.

Can I use cream cheese instead of sour cream? ›

Fresh, spreadable cheeses like cream cheese and mascarpone generally work well as 1:1 substitutes for sour cream in baking. Be sure to let them warm up to room temperature before using, and thin them out slightly by stirring in milk or lemon juice to get a similar texture.

What if I add too much liquid to my beef stroganoff? ›

Cornstarch is a reliable and widely used thickening agent, that works in sauces, gravies, and soups. Composed of a long chain of starch molecules, it has the ability to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency, giving your beef stroganoff the desired thickness without altering the way it tastes.

What is a substitute for Worcestershire sauce in beef stroganoff? ›

We always recommend sticking with the original recipe, as that will produce the best results. However, soy sauce is a 1:1 substitute, and the closest and most recommended substitute for Worcestershire sauce.

Why is my beef stroganoff runny? ›

If too runny, add more flour-water mixture and if too thick, add more sour cream.

What cut of beef is most tender? ›

The most tender of all cuts of beef, tenderloin steaks are lean and known for their delicate, butter-like texture and thick cut. These mouthwatering steaks are so tender they can be “cut with a butter knife.” Tenderloin steaks are commonly known as filets or filet mignon.

Which cut of beef has the beefiest flavor? ›

The Ribeye is generally considered to be the most flavourful steak. These steaks are cut from the ribs and contain a lot of marbling throughout. The muscle from where the Ribeye is cut, isn't used often so the meat is very tender.

How do you cook beef so it's tender? ›

To cook it until it's so tender it falls apart, you'll need to choose a joint like chuck and blade or beef brisket and either braise, slow roast or slow cook it for at least a couple of hours.
