Slow Cooker Creamy Beef Stroganoff is a comforting classic made with tender slow-cooked beef, savory mushrooms, and a rich, velvety cream sauce. This easy, hands-off recipe delivers deep flavor and is perfect served over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onion until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  4. Add mushrooms, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until beef is tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in softened cream cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker and cook until sauce thickens.
  8. Stir in sour cream and adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Cook egg noodles separately according to package instructions. Serve beef stroganoff over noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Browning the beef enhances flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
  • Add peas or spinach during the last 20–30 minutes for extra vegetables.
  • For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Store leftovers (without noodles) for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze without noodles for up to 2 months for best texture.
