Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Beef Stroganoff
Just four ingredients and a slow cooker are all you need for this creamy, tender Beef Stroganoff! The beef cooks in a rich mushroom gravy until it's fall-apart soft, then gets finished with sour cream for that classic stroganoff flavor. So simple and so good over a plate of buttery egg noodles!
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1½-inch chunks
2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
1 cup sour cream
How to Make It:
Place the beef chunks in the bottom of a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
Add both cans of cream of mushroom soup and sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the beef.
Stir everything together until the beef is nicely coated in the creamy mushroom mixture.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Once the beef is tender, turn the slow cooker to LOW if it's on HIGH. Let the sauce cool slightly for a few minutes, then stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Cover and warm gently for another 5–10 minutes. Avoid boiling the sauce after adding the sour cream so it stays nice and smooth.
Give everything one last stir and serve while hot.
Spoon the creamy beef and mushroom gravy over cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or fluffy white rice.
Buttered egg noodles are especially good here because they soak up all that delicious sauce!
The stroganoff itself uses just four ingredients. Noodles or rice are optional for serving.
