Make this slow cooker beef stroganoff with cream of mushroom soup as a comfort meal for your family. The creamy soup makes the classic dish more flavorful and hearty.
Cut the beef into 1" cube and trim off excess fat—season with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive in a large skillet over medium heat, add seasoned beef, and sear each side for 30 seconds in small batches. Remove beef and place in the slow cooker.
Add 3 cups of beef broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan. Then pour into the slow cooker.
Then, add thyme, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauced, Dijon mustard, cream of mushroom soup, and garlic to the slow cooker. Stir until well combined.
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender.
Thirty minutes before cook time is up. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of beef broth and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Then whisk in sour cream and pour into the slow cooker.
Serve over egg noodles and enjoy!
Notes
A lower temperature and longer cooking time gives the fat in the beef time to fully render, so cooking this dish on low is preferred if you have the time.
Always cook the noodles separately! They will turn mushy in the crock pot.
Freeze leftovers, without the noodles, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before reheating frozen leftovers.
Cube and sear the beef the day before to save you prep time in the morning.
