Crockpot Ground Beef Stroganoff
Crockpot Ground Beef Stroganoff is a comforting slow cooker dinner made with tender ground beef, mushrooms, and a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ cups cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Instructions
- Add the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the crockpot. Break the ground beef up slightly with a spoon.
- Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, then stir in the Dijon mustard until everything is evenly combined.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, stirring once or twice if possible to help break up the beef.
- Once the beef is fully cooked and tender, stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve warm over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Nutrition
Notes
- Drain the beef well: Removing excess grease keeps the sauce smooth and prevents it from becoming oily.
- Sauté mushrooms properly: Let them brown instead of steam, this builds flavor and improves texture.
- Add broth gradually: Stir as you pour in the beef stock to create a silky, lump-free sauce.
- Simmer gently: Avoid boiling after adding the soup and broth so the sauce doesn’t separate.
- Add sour cream off the heat: Stir it in last to maintain the creamy consistency and prevent curdling.
- Make it lighter: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lower-fat option.
- Serving suggestion: Spoon over buttered egg noodles or Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes for a classic finish.
