🧂 Gather Your Ingredients
- stew meat - this is a great option for a crockpot recipe, as it has a tougher texture but will get nice and tender as it slow cooks.
- cream of mushroom soup - I like to use Campbell's, but any brand will do!
- onion soup mix - this is an easy way to instantly add lots of flavor to your crock pot stroganoff.
- fresh mushrooms - in addition to the mushroom soup, I add some more fresh mushrooms for even more of that earthy flavor.
- chopped onion - fresh onion works great but you could also use pre-diced frozen onion for super easy prep.
- flour - helps thicken the sauce and gives it a nice rich consistency.
- sour cream - sdds a rich, velvety texture that gives the sauce its signature smooth and creamy consistency.

💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- This mushroom soup stroganoff is fantastic served over some hearty egg noodles or a bowl of rice.
- Some lower carb options include zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
- Be sure to wait until just before serving to add the sour cream mixture. This will ensure it thickens the stroganoff rather than cooking along with it and thinning out.
❔ FAQs
This is a term from Russian cuisine that basically refers to any dish comprised of strips of steak cooked in a sauce that includes sour cream. It was named after the Stroganov family and also usually includes some kind of mustard in the sauce.
Browning the beef isn’t mandatory, but it can add extra flavor to the dish by caramelizing the meat. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
If you're using cream and you find that it curdles when you add it to the hot steak mixture, you'll want to temper it first. Do this by adding a small amount of the hot liquid from the slow cooker to the cream and letting it come up to temperature, then adding that mixture to the rest of the stroganoff.
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- For added flavor, use herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley.
- The sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, or heavy cream.

How delicious! I haven't had this dish in.... probably more than a decade since my grandma made it for me. Every time I see a recipe for it now I'm reminded that I want to make it soon!!!! Yours looks wonderful!
Bernadette says
I can't wait to make this recipe. Thanks Kristin! Is there are particular cut of beef that is more tender than others for this dish?
Kristin King says
I usually use stew meat, which is not the most tender meat, but I have never had a problem with using it in crock pot recipes. However, if you want to use a better cut of beef, I am thinking sirloin or top round, perhaps. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Liz says
