Beef Stroganoff is a classic comfort dish that has been warming hearts and homes for generations. Originating from Russia, this creamy, savory meal has become a beloved staple in many kitchens around the world. This slow cooker version is perfect for busy families, allowing you to set it and forget it while you go about your day. With just five simple ingredients, it's an easy way to bring a touch of warmth and love to your dinner table.

This beef stroganoff pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad and a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a more hearty meal, consider serving it with steamed green beans or roasted carrots on the side. A glass of iced tea or a light red wine would complement the flavors nicely.

Servings: 4

1 pound beef stew meat
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth
1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
8 oz egg noodles

Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Pour the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and onion soup mix over the meat. Stir to combine.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender.

About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Stir the cooked noodles into the beef mixture in the slow cooker. Let everything heat through for about 10 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

For a creamier sauce, you can add 1/2 cup of sour cream or cream cheese to the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking. If you have picky eaters, consider using a can of cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom. You can also add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta or serve over rice.
