Beef Stroganoff is a retro family dinner classic with mid-19th-century Russian roots. Traditionally, beef Stroganoff consists of sautéed beef smothered in sour cream sauce with onions and mushrooms. This deliciously warm creamy dish has seen many variations through the years, thus making it a fabulous recipe to suit your tastes.
Our beef Stroganoff is prepared in a slow cooker. The perfect recipe for busy families on the go, looking to “set it and forget it.” The slower cooking times ensure that the beef is fork tender and juicy, ready to be served over hot buttered egg noddles, smothered is a luscious golden mushroom sauce.
