Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Slow Cooker Beef Straganoff -- A Pinch of Joy

Beef Stroganoff is a simple dish of meat and mushrooms with a sour cream sauce that literally has been around for centuries.   Eventually it was given the name of the Russian Count Pavel Stroganoff.  Stroganoff, was a celebrity in turn-of-the-century St. Petersburg, a dignitary at the court of Alexander III and a gourmet. He entertained frequently and beef, onions and mushrooms in a savory sour cream sauce became a signature dish bearing his name.   However, his Beef Stroganoff was likely served over potatoes rather than noodles.  Beef Stroganoff has many variations and here is one more!

This is a quick and easy version of Beef Stroganoff for families on the go.  It takes about 10 minutes to put together, using cubed stew meat.  You can use frozen diced onions to shave off a couple of minutes more.  If you can’t find beef base in the store, use a bullion cube.  Cook on low  in the crockpot for 8 hours.   Thirty minutes before serving, add cornstarch as directed to crockpot to thicken the mixture.  Prepare noodles according to package directions.  I like “chunky” noodles — wide and thick.  You can use whatever your family prefers — even rotini or sea shell pasta. Stir in Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) just before serving.   Make a tossed salad and dinner is on the table!

  • 1 Tablespoon beef stock base
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 Tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 bag (14 ounces) wide noodles

Make Ahead and Freeze Instructions
  1. In one gallon freezer bag, place meat, drained mushrooms, onion, apple juice beef base, garlic, thyme and pepper.

  4. Thaw overnight before cooking as above.
