Easy Crock Pot Beef 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, beef tips and gravy and meatloaf recipe so much that I thought it was time to add another beef dinner to my arsenal. That’s where this crockpot 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 with egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes.

Best Cut of Beef Use

My favorite type of meat to use for slow cooker 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, but I usually use those only if I am making easy beef stroganoff on the stovetop. Some even use meatballs. You can’t go wrong with any of these – they are all delicious!

Stroganoff Sauce Ingredients

The sauce is easily made from scratch using the ingredients below:

  • Beef broth
  • Onion soup mix
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 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.

How to Make Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

  • Cook ingredients in crockpot. Add stew meat and mushrooms in the slow cooker and sprinkle onion soup mix on top. Then pour broth and Worcestershire in. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Stir in creams and cornstarch. Remove 1/4 cup broth from crockpot. Then stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Whisk in the cornstarch. Let cook an additional 30 minutes, then S&P to taste.
  • Serve and enjoy! Serve over butter noodles and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
