Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Ingredients and Substitutions
- Beef – Tougher cuts of beef become melt-in-your-mouth tender when pressure- or slow-cooked.
Packages of stew meat often contain a mixture of different cuts, so buy a chuck roast if you can and cut it into bite sized pieces. - Sour cream – Either regular or light sour cream will taste great, or you can use plain Greek yogurt or even cream cheese if you prefer.
- Egg noodles – While these are the traditional choice, you could easily swap them out for a whole wheat or gluten free variety instead.
Short pasta shapes like rotini or bowtie tend to work the best for crockpot stroganoff.
Crockpot Stroganoff Tips and Tricks
- Need it done sooner? Reduce the time to 4-5 hours by cooking on High. Or, I have a stovetop version of this stroganoff recipe that uses ground beef instead.
- Save on prep time. You can often find sliced mushrooms and containers of chopped onions in the produce section.
- Want more flavor? The best part about cooking with a crockpot is being able to dump everything in at once, set it, and walk away.
However, if you’re able to brown the meat and vegetables on the stove first you won’t regret it! - Easy meal planning. Because this tastes even better the next day, it’s a great option for lunches or even just to have as leftovers for a day or two.
Storage and Reheating Crockpot Stroganoff
Transfer leftovers to a sealed container and refrigerate. Be sure to use it up within 5 days.
Warm your leftovers in the microwave or on the stove. You can add a splash of beef stock to thin the sauce if you need to.
Crock Pot Stroganoff FAQs
I don’t see why not! Just make sure your crockpot is large enough to hold everything.
Otherwise, you may need to serve the crockpot beef stroganoff over top of the egg noodles instead of mixing them in at the end.
Don’t add them in! Plenty of people prefer this dish over mashed potatoes or rice instead.
You will still need to stir in sour cream at the end, because that’s what gives the meal its signature tang and creamy texture.
Fresh or frozen peas make a great addition, and you can stir them in at the end with the noodles. You could also add fresh mushrooms to pair with the cut of beef, or even some green beans.
Don’t forget that crock pot recipes offer versatility and flexibility in how they are made – so add some of your other veggie picks to your shopping list and enjoy. And at the end, once your new favorite meal is done cooking, add fresh parsley as a delicious topping.
You can also whip up a mushroom sauce or a perfect creamy sauce to pour all over the top. Creamy beef stroganoff is a great way to add add flavor to the beef stew meat.
Enjoy!
