Vintage Beef Stroganoff Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient
Makes: 6 plates
What You Need
-
3 pounds beef chuck roast (cut off hard fat, keep the good fat inside, chop into big 3-4 inch pieces)
-
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
-
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
-
1 1/2 cups sour cream (full-fat, room temp)
How to Make Vintage Beef Stroganoff Slow Cooker
Get Ready
Put your slow cooker on the table. Cut hard fat off the beef but leave the soft fat for juiciness. Chop into big chunks—they stay wet and pull apart nice later.
Mix the Tasty Base
In a bowl, stir the mushroom soup and onion mix until smooth. This turns into yummy brown gravy while cooking.
Put It All In
Lay beef chunks flat in the cooker. Pour soup mix on top. Flip pieces with a spoon so every bit gets covered in sauce.
Cook Slow
Put the lid on. Cook on LOW 7-8 hours or HIGH 4-5 hours. Beef should be super soft and easy to pull. Don’t peek much—it lets out steam and slows things down.
Pull Apart the Meat
Use two forks to shred beef into long strings right in the cooker. Stir so sauce sticks to every piece. It should look shiny!
Warm the Sour Cream
In another bowl, put sour cream. Spoon 1 cup hot sauce from cooker into it. Whisk fast so it warms up without lumps.
Mix and Rest
Set cooker to WARM. Stir sour cream mix into the beef. Taste—might be salty enough. Cover 5-10 minutes to get thick.
Eat!
Scoop over buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Keep cooker on for hot seconds. Add salad, green beans, or asparagus. Try with light wine or bread to mop up sauce.
