In your slow cooker, add the beef, onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Pour in four cups of beef broth. Add one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and one tablespoon of Dijon mustard for flavor. Sprinkle in one teaspoon of paprika and one teaspoon of dried thyme. Don't forget to add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well to combine. Cover your slow cooker and set it to low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The beef should be tender when done. About 30 minutes before serving, cook two cups of egg noodles according to the package instructions. While the noodles cook, check on your beef mixture. It should smell amazing! Once the beef is ready, stir in one cup of sour cream until it's well mixed. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the beef stroganoff over the egg noodles.

Don't skip the Worcestershire sauce; it adds a nice umami kick. Lastly, let the dish simmer longer if you can. This gives time for the flavors to meld beautifully.

Taste your dish before serving. Adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Lastly, don't rush the cooking time. Low and slow makes the beef tender and packed with flavor. To cater to different palates, try these tips. If you like a richer taste, add more sour cream. For a kick, include a dash of hot sauce. If you need it milder, reduce the garlic or mustard. You can also add more herbs, like oregano or basil, for freshness. Feel free to experiment until it suits your taste buds! {{image_2}} You can switch the beef with other meats. Try chicken for a lighter dish. Pork also works well, giving a sweet flavor. Ground beef is a quick option, too. Just adjust cooking time to ensure it's fully cooked. If you want a meatless meal, replace beef with mushrooms and lentils. Use portobello mushrooms for a hearty texture. Add some beans for protein. Tofu can also soak up flavors well, making it a great choice. You can change the taste by adding other herbs and spices. For a kick, try adding crushed red pepper. A splash of white wine can add depth. You might also swap the Dijon mustard for a grainy variety for a different twist. Adjust salt and pepper to suit your taste. After you enjoy your Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff, let it cool first. Place the beef and noodles in an airtight container. It stays fresh in the fridge for up to three days. Make sure to separate the sauce from the noodles if you can. This keeps the noodles from getting too soggy. When you are ready to eat the leftovers, heat them gently. You can use the microwave or a saucepan. If using the microwave, cover the dish to trap steam. Heat for one to two minutes, stirring halfway. If you use a saucepan, add a splash of broth to keep it moist. Heat on low, stirring often, until warm. You can freeze your beef stroganoff too! Just make sure it cools completely before packing it. Use a freezer-safe container or bag. It can last up to three months in the freezer. When you want to eat it, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Reheat as mentioned to enjoy it again. Yes, you can use other noodles. Fettuccine, pappardelle, or even rice work well. Each type adds its own twist to the dish. Just ensure they cook properly and pair with the sauce. Egg noodles are great for soaking up flavors, but feel free to experiment. To thicken the sauce, you can use a few methods. One way is to mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir this into the sauce and cook for a few more minutes. Another option is to add more sour cream. This will also give a rich taste. Beef Stroganoff pairs well with many sides.
