A cozy and creamy slow cooker beef stroganoff that melts into tender egg noodles, perfect for busy weeknights and comforting dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into strips or cubes
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for tossing noodles)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into 1-inch strips or cubes. Toss beef pieces with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until evenly coated. (5 minutes)
  2. Place chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the floured beef over the veggies in an even layer. (5 minutes)
  3. Pour 2 cups beef broth over the beef mixture. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. (2 minutes)
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours until beef is tender and easy to shred with a fork. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking. (6-7 hours)
  5. About 20 minutes before slow cooker finishes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 12 ounces egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons butter. (20 minutes)
  6. Remove lid and gently stir in 1 cup sour cream. If sauce is too thin, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and stir in. Cook on high for 10-15 minutes to thicken. Adjust seasoning as needed. (5-10 minutes)
  7. Serve the creamy beef mixture over warm buttered egg noodles. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives if desired. (2 minutes)

Notes

Tossing beef in flour before slow cooking helps thicken the sauce naturally. Add sour cream off-heat or near the end to prevent curdling. Do not stir slow cooker during cooking to keep beef tender. Salt noodle water well to avoid flat taste. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and egg noodles with gluten-free pasta or spiralized zucchini.
