This savory and delicious beef and noodles recipe is my version of a crockpot beef stroganoff. It’s simply divine. This recipe is even better tasting the next day. Leftovers are easily reheated in the microwave.
The slow cooker, in my opinion, is an underused kitchen appliance. It can handle many time consuming cooking chores without any supervision. Who else can you say that about? A little experimentation with your crock pot, can have you whipping up gourmet meals in no time. As an at home helper, your crock pot may not do windows, but it will do all the cooking.
Believe it or not, I used to make this crockpot beef stroganoff when I was working. I would measure out all the ingredients the night before. In the morning, I would brown the meat, throw everything in the slow cooker, turn it on and go off to work. When I came home at night, I would boil the noodles, make a salad and we would eat a nice hearty meal. I love the crock pot. You can have it cook a delicious meal while you are gone all day.
