Instructions:
-
Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
-
Add Onions, Garlic, and Mushrooms: Once the beef is cooked, add the diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Saute until the onions are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
-
Transfer to Crock Pot: Transfer the cooked beef and vegetable mixture to a Crock Pot or slow cooker.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: To the slow cooker, add the salt, pepper, tomato paste, and flour. Stir everything together until well combined.
-
Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender. Alternatively, you can cook on high for 3 hours if you’re short on time.
-
Stir in Sour Cream and Flour: About 1 hour before serving, stir in the sour cream and flour. This will help thicken the sauce and add a creamy texture to the dish.
-
Serve: Once the stroganoff is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, serve it over hot buttered noodles or fluffy rice for a deliciously comforting meal.
Chef’s Tips:
- For added depth of flavor, you can deglaze the skillet after browning the beef by adding a splash of beef broth or red wine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan before adding the onions and other vegetables.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of flour added or mix the flour with a bit of water before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove until heated through.
This creamy beef stroganoff is a hearty and satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends at home. With its rich flavors and creamy texture, it’s sure to become a family favorite! Enjoy 😋🍽️.
