A comforting and creamy slow cooker beef stroganoff with tender egg noodles, perfect for cozy dinners and busy days. The slow cooker gently tenderizes the beef while the sour cream sauce adds rich creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked separately
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck and cut into roughly 1-inch cubes. Slice the mushrooms, chop the onion, and mince garlic cloves.
  2. Optional: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Brown the beef cubes in batches until nicely seared on all sides.
  3. Add the browned beef (or raw if skipping browning), mushrooms, onion, garlic, beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until beef is fork-tender and mushrooms are softened.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, stir the sour cream mixture into the slow cooker. Mix thoroughly and let it warm through without boiling.
  7. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  8. Serve the beef stroganoff over the noodles or gently fold the noodles into the slow cooker just before plating. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Browning the beef before slow cooking adds depth of flavor but can be skipped for convenience. Add sour cream mixture at the end and avoid boiling to prevent curdling. Cook egg noodles separately to avoid mushiness. If sauce is too thin after adding sour cream, thicken with cornstarch slurry.
