This cozy, family favorite is conveniently made using a slow cooker and offers a rich and creamy sauce with tender beef served over egg noodles. The leftovers are even better!
It seems like there’s a new must-have something or another that pops up in my social media feed every day. It can be easy to forget the tried-and-true gadgets and appliances that sit in our cabinets. Whether you’re cooking for a large family or just one or two, slow cookers come in a variety of sizes and price points making them perfect for any household. They also use less energy than conventional ovens and are my not-so-secret weapon to keeping my kitchen from feeling like the surface of the sun during the summer. Not to mention, the slow cooker gets the job done when it comes to tenderizing meat and distributing flavor.
Serves 6
You know what I love most about my slow cooker? It makes me feel like I'm on top of my homemaker game. The best part - while dinner is cooking, I can do other things, or nothing at all. That’s the beauty of the slow cooker! Just a few simple ingredients and the turn of a dial and I can create a beautiful and tasty dinner without having to stand over the stove all day.
While Beef Stroganoff is not a new or trendy recipe, it does offer a certain level of comfort because it's been around forever. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here... this is just a delicious recipe that my family loves and we think you’ll love it too!
For this recipe you will need:
Sirloin beef tips
You want to select a cut of meat that can withstand long cooking times. Beef stew meat can be used in this recipe, however, because of the various cuts the meat may not cook evenly.
Mushrooms
I find that baby portabella mushrooms have a more earthy flavor that pairs nicely with the beef. Their firmer texture also holds up well when cooked. White Buttons often have a milder flavor but could also be used in this recipe.
White Wine
Adding a little wine goes a long way! It can help to add acidity and brightness to the dish. It will also help to tenderize the meat while it cooks.
Beef Stock
A good beef stock, especially a homemade one, will add a lot of additional flavor and nutrition to your dish. It will also help prevent the meat from becoming too dry during the cooking process.
Sour Cream
I use sour cream in this recipe because it's what I have on hand the most frequently. However, you can definitely substitute plain Greek yogurt or 4 ounces of plain cream cheese.
Spices
We want to build LAYERS of flavor in our dish so adding some delicious spices will give each and every bite a bit of complexity.
Noodles
I love egg noodles for this recipe. It just gives me those vintage recipe vibes. However, feel free to use rice, cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta shape.

Making this Slow Cooker Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff is super easy!
First, brown the beef tips in 1 Tablespoon of oil. You just want a good, quick sear on each piece. The meat will finish cooking in the slow cooker. Searing the meat for just a couple of minutes will help to keep those flavorful juices inside, which helps to make the meat extra moist and tender. Remember, we want layers and layers of flavor!
Next, add in the liquids and spices. You’ll want to cook on the low setting for about 5 hours or on high for about 7 hours. The actual cooking time may vary depending on your particular slow cooker (some have been known to run hotter than others).
Now that the hard part is over, sit back and relax for a little while!
When near the end of your selected cooking time (about an hour left to go), go ahead and add in those delicious mushrooms and stir in the sour cream. With my personal slow cooker, I turn the heat to warm, but you can just turn off the slow cooker if your setting is on low or turn it to low if your setting is on high. We just want to get those mushrooms slightly tender.
Make your pasta according to the package directions.
