Easy Crock Pot Stroganoff
Easy crockpot recipes are my go-to on busy weeknights. I love to just dump everything in the crockpot and forget about it. They help take the stress out of dinnertime, which is much needed!
My family loves this slow cooker beef bourguignon recipe and meatloaf recipe so much that I thought it was time to add another beef dinner to my arsenal. That’s where this beef stroganoff comes in. It’s a classic comfort food dish that’s made easy in the slow cooker and is packed with flavor in a creamy sauce.
The best part about this recipe is that it’s made with less than 10 ingredients! Plus it only takes 5 minutes to prep and clean up is super simple.
We love to serve it over butter noodles or creamy mashed potatoes. Feel free to make swaps too – like using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to make it a little healthier. Or using flank steak or sirloin steak instead of stew meat.
What Cut of Beef is Best to Use?
My favorite type of meat to use for beef stroganoff is stew meat. It’s less expensive and gets super tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow in the crockpot. You could even sear it on the stove before throwing it in the slow cooker if you want a little more flavor.
Other cuts of beef will work too, such as flank steak or sirloin steak. Some even use meatballs. You can’t go wrong with any of these – they are all delicious!
What is Stroganoff Sauce Made of?
The sauce is easily made from scratch using the ingredients below:
- Beef broth
- Onion soup mix
- Worcestershire sauce
- Sour cream
- Heavy cream
- Cornstarch
The stroganoff sauce is super flavorful and gets perfectly creamy and thick. If you’re looking to thicken it even more, try adding in a little more cornstarch and heavy cream until desired consistency is met.

Could you clarify? I need everything spelled out for me!
“Remove about 1/4 cup of the broth. Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Whisk in the cornstarch. Allow to cook an additional 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.“
Do I add the heavy cream, sour cream and cornstarch to the 1/4 cup broth and then pour it all back in?
Thanks!
Yes, exactly! :)
