Ingredients
1 lb beef stew meat
1 onion, diced
2–3 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional, but traditional in stroganoff)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Salt & black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions 👩🍳
Brown the Beef (optional): In a skillet, sear the beef stew meat with a little oil until browned on all sides.
This step adds extra flavor, but you can skip it if you’re short on time.
Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Layer the Casserole: Grease the inside of your slow cooker. Place half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Add half of the onions, garlic, mushrooms, and beef. Pour some sauce over the top. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, beef, and sauce.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked through.
Add Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
Cover again until melted and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with a side of green beans, a crisp salad, or crusty bread.
Tips & Variations ✨
Make it creamier: Add extra sour cream at the end before serving.
Extra veggies: Try adding frozen peas or carrots for more color.
No cream of mushroom soup?
Substitute with cream of chicken or make a quick homemade white sauce. Spicy kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
Storage 🍴
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. This casserole doesn’t freeze well due to the sour cream, but you can freeze it before adding dairy.
