Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff features hamburger meat and mushrooms served in a creamy sauce over egg noodles. It’s always a family favorite!

We love ground beef stroganoff!  If you like this recipe, you may also want to try my Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff, too.

 

Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff

I have made Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff for years!  It’s always been a family favorite and one that gets asked for often.  It’s one of those meals that just screams mama’s home cooking.  I have 7 kids, 6 of whom still live at home and any time I make this beef stroganoff recipe, they all ask for 2nds and sometimes even thirds.  Some of them like to stir in canned peas to theirs, if I happen to be serving them that night.

Below, I plan to answer any questions that you may have about this super simple recipe.  If YOU have a question that I haven’t covered though, let me know by leaving a comment and I’ll be happy to answer it!

Can You Make Ground Beef Stroganoff in the Slow Cooker?

Yes!  While I have also made it in the skillet and the Instant Pot, I love to just throw ingredients into a slow cooker and go, coming home to the most amazing dinner smells!  Of course, putting this one in the slow cooker will mean that you need to precook your ground beef and also boil your noodles, just before serving, but it’s still more than worth it, using the slow cooker!  You’ll see!

Do I Have to Precook the Ground Beef in this Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe?

I definitely recommend precooking your ground beef for Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff.  That way you can drain the grease from it so that it doesn’t turn into a greasy slop.  If you would rather not have to precook your ground beef, I recommend using stew meat instead.  It’s delicious with stew meat as well as ground beef and you can trim any fat out that you don’t want in before you start cooking!

I Don’t Like Mushrooms, Can I Use a Different Kind of Condensed Soup for Ground Beef Stroganoff?  Can I Leave the Mushrooms Out?

Yes, any time I’ve been in a pinch, I will use any kind of cream condensed soup that I have on hand.  Cream of Chicken and Cream of Celery are both good options.  Also, yes, you can leave the mushrooms out.  We have several kids who also don’t like mushrooms, so I often leave it out of mine and it’s still really good!  Of course, sometimes, I will saute them up and put them on only mine, because I LOVE mushrooms!

Is There a Substitute for Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup for this Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe?

Yes, you can substitute by making a gravy base.  I share exactly how to do that in the post:  3 Substitutes for Canned Cream Soups.

What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff?

There are lots of great things you can serve with beef stroganoff!  The possibilities are limitless.  Here’s what we typically serve with ours:

  • Canned or frozen vegetables, especially peas or green beans.
  • Fresh salad
  • Bread Sticks
  • Garlic Bread
  • Broccoli

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
