Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff: The Ultimate Comfort Food Recipe

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

When I was little, the comforting aroma of beef stroganoff meant it was a Sunday. My mom would start the slow cooker early in the morning, and by evening, the house was filled with a cozy warmth and a scent that could calm any storm. This version is hands-free, full of flavor, and brings back all those heart-hugging memories. Give it a try and bring a little comfort to your table too.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless sirloin steak, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp dried dillweed

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth, divided

  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup cornstarch

  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt (not nonfat)

  • 8 oz whole wheat egg noodles (or penne/rotini)

  • Fresh parsley or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  • Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add beef and season with salt, dill, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.

  • Add mushrooms, 1 cup broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Cover and cook:

    • HIGH: 2–3 hours

    • LOW: 5–7 hours
      (For firmer mushrooms, add them halfway through.)

  • Mix remaining ½ cup broth with cornstarch and stir in. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes.

  • Stir in Greek yogurt. Cook another 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, cook noodles. Mix in or serve separately with stroganoff ladled over. Garnish with herbs if you like.

Notes

  • Use ground beef as a shortcut by browning it with spices and skipping the long simmer.

  • Store leftovers for up to 2 days—or 4 days if you keep the noodles separate.

  • Best served warm and with love.
