Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
December 21, 2015 4 Comments
I am in a stew kind of mood. Stewing about what to cook!
I love my slow cooker and beef turns out perfect every time when I use it. This recipe is more work than a usual slow cooker DUMP but it is worth it because I make enough to feed a small army of very hungry people.
I freeze half of this for a future meal. Note that you should not add the sour cream and then freeze it. It turns out more tasty if you add sour cream after you reheat it.
You must sauté the beef before adding it to the slow cooker because otherwise it will end up gummy. Also, do not try to replace the white wine. I usually do not use wine in my recipes, but in this one it is an essential flavoring agent. It tastes so rich with it. I use the pre-sliced white mushrooms because they make life easy.
