Crockpot Stroganoff Recipe
Only five ingredients to make this delicious meal!
Ingredients for Easy Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff
- stew meat - choose good quality meat and dice your own beef cubes
- onion - thinly sliced
- mushrooms - fresh mushrooms add an earthy, meaty flavor
- gravy packets - easy seasoning in a packet!
- rice or egg noodles - whichever is your favorite.
What is the best cut of meat for this recipe?
The store sells pre-cubed beef stew meat, but I don't recommend purchasing the diced meat. Often times its not the best cut of meat. Here's what I recommend:
- sirloin steak - an affordable cut and you can easily dice the beef and remove the fat
- chuck roast - well-marbled, just trim off the fat
- brisket - great flavor and the longer it's simmered the more tender it gets.
- rump roast - another great affordable cut
What is stroganoff sauce made of?
The vegetables, beef and gravy packet combine to make a delicious sauce finished with sour cream - it's delicious!

If you'd like to include a salad, try this recipe for a Garden Salad - so simple and just delicious! And to sop up the gravy you can't go wrong by adding some dinner rolls!
How do you keep the sour cream from cuddling when using the slow cooker?
It's simple, you'll wait to stir it in until the end. That way it won't curdle.
What wine would go with stroganoff?
This meal is delicious enough to serve for company and wine would be excellent to serve alongside.
Choose a light fruity red, that will pair best with this meal. A
