So Simple Beef Stroganoff Recipe

I used this as a template to do a stove top version, and it was delicious! I got the sauce going as directed (in a pot), but I added more water and continued adding water as necessary so it could cook together nicely without getting too thick or burning. We were low on money so I used ground chuck, browned it, and then added it to the sauce as instructed. I let that cook for a couple if minutes as I boiled the noodles, and then as my noodles were finishing I melted the cream cheese into the sauce. This is a delicious, very easy dinner! It also re-heated very well.

I made significant changes to the recipe. I use 90/10 ground beef. I also season the meat with Canvender's greek seasoning. I add just a 1/4 cup of flour to the onions, garlic, fresh sliced baby bella mushrooms and ground beef. Then start thickening that with good Beef stock of your choosing. I also add worcestershire sauce (teaspoon or to taste) at the end and if necessary I'll add the can of mushroom soup. Just before serving I'll mix in 4 to 6 ounces of sour cream and serve hot over egg noodles. I realize that this complicates a simple recipe but to me the cost difference and flavor combination works better.

Brilliant hack! I sautéed beef and mushroom then added back into the cream mix later. Also , I used a pressure cooker instead of slow cooker haha, and added a bit more water. It came out great! The onion soup flavor is a bit intense. I’m saving this recipe for another quick but indulgent treat!

This was soooo good! Only thing I changed was added a few dashes of worshestershire sauce and mushrooms and thickened the sauce.

This is a good base recipe to get the gist of how to make stroganoff with the least possible level of intimidation. I changed a few things around however. I used a slightly larger can of con. COM soup, a slightly larger packet of onion soup/dip mix, instead of water I used beef broth (about 1C), instead of cubed beef I used a pound of ground beef, instead of 4oz of cream cheese I used 6oz and 2T of sour cream, 1t of white vinegar. I used an entire bag of egg noodles and still had some sauce left over. Came out great. I cooked my version for 1.5hr in the slow cooker on high, stirred briskly with a whisk to break up the meat a little further and then another 1.5hr on high to finish it off.

I loved how easy this was to cook in the slow cooker. I have a slow cooker that browns, so I browned the meat and sauteed some onions and mushrooms then followed the rest of the instructions to the letter. Super simple and really delicious.

This recipe is simple and good. I doubled the recipe because I was having several people over and didn't want to end up short. I did use just half the recommended dry onion soup mix, partly because some reviewers suggested it and partly because my bro-in-law has a sodium problem. It turned out very well, but it's important to make sure you do a couple things to make it turns out as best it can. I didn't cube the prime top round roast I used (2 lbs), I just cut it in half so it wouldn't cook too fast. I recommend this. I poked it with a fork after the first three hours and then again about a half hour later until I could tell it was tender. Then I pulled the meat out and cut it into smaller pieces and returned it to the crock pot along with the cream cheese. The meat was pretty much perfect at the time, so I wish I'd pulled it out a bit sooner. The cream cheese should be allowed an hour or more with the crock pot on low to fully mix with the rest of the ingredients. So, next time I'm pulling the meat at the 3-hour mark, cutting and returning it to the pan with the cream cheese, and letting it go at least another hour before serving. Again, great, incredibly easy recipe that I will definitely make again. Cheers!

It was pretty good actually, I was impressed, as I haven't had luck with beef stroganoff in the past. I will make it again, especially how easy it was to put together, could even do for a weeknight meal with prep in the morning. The meat was tender as I left it in the crockpot for about 6 1/2 hours on low. I added chunked fresh mushrooms and sliced onions, and only used 1/4 of a block of cream cheese which it may not have even needed as the flavor was already quite strong, but it added a creamy texture to it. I used bow tie pasta instead as I didn't have any egg noodles.

Easy recipe and a good one. I usually do a double batch so we have plenty of left overs for lunch. Those of you complaining about stew beef, stew beef is tough as shoe leather. You have to cook it for around 5-6 hours to make it tender.

I sautéed onions and thinly sliced red peppers in butter, then added sliced roast beef, (cut into strips.) I used 1/2 cup of milk instead of water. I ended up putting in an extra cup of milk cause I found it tasted too strong of onion soup mix. It was delicious. Will definitely make it again. My son asked for the recipe as well.

So easy! I used venison burger instead of beef tips and I added fresh mushrooms and onions to ingredients. I also cooked it stove top in 20 minutes instead of 3hour crock pot. (Cooked mushrooms, onions and meat together and the soup mixture separate. then once meat was finished I combined everything together and added the cream cheese and stirred until smooth. Served over noodles, yum!

The sauce came out great, loved the flavor. I took the advice to pre-boil the beef, and added a healthy pinch of ground mustard and 1/4 top of cinnamon. I added water to let the beef cook better, and thickened with a tsp of flour at the end. I should have only made half a lb of noodles, as I have way to much left over! The meat and sauce came out great, and I used 6oz of cream cheese for the texture and because I like it. Worcester sauce to taste when served because there is no such thing as too much Worcester! I'm keeping this one.

I am going to make it this week! It looks and sounds by the ingredients that it is going to be a winner!

If your using beef stew meat for a fast way to make it tender boil the meat first for about 15-20 minutes first, becomes so tender you will need to check it because if you cook for too long it will become shreddable, then complete the recipe. Came out great, my family loved this recipe

Definitely needed more time to cook the beef. Still very tough. Will make it again a let it cook longer. I used less cream cheese- closer to 2 ounces. As As far as flavor goes I won't change a thing. My whole family liked it.

Bro, I didn’t know cooking could feel this rewarding.

Doubled the recipe. Turned out great. My husband loved it and that works for me. Will fix this meal again.

Fantastic

Easy to make and tasted great. Did not disappoint

i doubled the sauce part so that i could cover the noodles and added the cream cheese with 30 mins left of cook time. i do the 3 hrs on low to make sure
