Ingredients:
1 ½ – 2 pounds stew meat
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper (I used about 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper)
2 cups beef broth (low sodium recommended)
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup sour cream
6 ounces cream cheese (cut into 1-inch cubes, softened)
4 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour) + ½ cup beef broth
12 ounces short pasta noodles (egg noodles, penne, macaroni, or spiral pasta all work well)
Instructions:
1. Prep Your Slow Cooker:
Lightly grease your slow cooker. Add stew meat and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Layer in Flavor:
Add sliced mushrooms, beef broth, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
3. Thicken the Sauce:
About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together ½ cup beef broth with cornstarch or flour. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker.
4. Make It Creamy:
Add sour cream and softened cream cheese. Turn the heat to high and cook for another 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and thickened.
5. Serve & Garnish:
Taste the stroganoff, adjusting salt and pepper if needed. Stir in your cooked pasta noodles. Garnish with cracked black pepper and fresh thyme for a burst of flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
Classic egg noodles
