Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff Recipe: A Family Favorite Hearty Meal

Traditional beef stroganoff features sirloin steak in a creamy mushroom sauce, but for Crock Pot meals, adding ground beef is another way to make a meal the whole family loves.

This is one of my favorite recipes because it’s so simple to make, and the flavors taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.

It reminds me of when my mom would make this for us in the fall. She’d call us in from playing in the leaves out in the yard, the chill still on my cheeks. There was nothing better than sitting at the table to dig into her beef stroganoff. 

Now my entire family cheers when I announce I’m making this recipe, and to be honest, I’m lucky if there’s anything left over the next day.

In fact, I often double the recipe for freezer meals and meal prep to make sure I’ve got what I need.

It’s a great recipe to serve to guests, too, and goes great with a side of green beans. If you’re in the mood for something creamy, soothing, and comforting, you’ve simply got to try it!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Add the ground beef to the Crock Pot.

My meat was mostly thawed out. You don’t want to stick totally frozen meat in the cooker, or it will take longer to cook.

Next, add the minced and dried onion seasoning.

You can add fresh diced onions if you have some, but I used the seasoning. Either one will work great.

Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the cooker.

Pour the beef broth over the meat.

Add the mushroom soup to the slow cooker and mix the ingredients. Place the lid on top and cook on the low setting for seven hours.

After seven hours, remove the lid and chop up the meat a little. Add the cubed cream cheese.

Next, add the sour cream and mix the ingredients. Some of the cheese will melt.

Replace the lid and cook for another hour or so.

Mix all of the ingredients until the cheese is totally melted. Scoop up the beef stroganoff and pour it over the egg noodles and serve!

Classic Beef Stroganoff Recipe With Ground Beef

My slow cooker ground beef stroganoff comes together with just a few simple ingredients. No need to brown ground beef. Like I mentioned before, I just add it to the Crock Pot raw with the other ingredients.

You’ll need both minced and dried onion, minced garlic, beef broth, a can of cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. 

When it’s done, you’ll serve it on a bed of egg noodles. The creamy sauce is a match for adding fresh mushrooms, too, if you’d like. This delicious meal also looks beautiful when you garnish each plate with fresh parsley.
