For an even richer flavor, try browning the beef strips in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. This step adds depth and complexity to the final dish. If you prefer fresh mushrooms, substitute the canned mushrooms with 8 ounces of sliced fresh mushrooms. Sauté them with the onions before adding them to the slow cooker for enhanced flavor. Adjust the amount of sour cream to your liking. Some prefer a tangier stroganoff, while others prefer a milder flavor. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste. If the sauce is too thick after the final hour of cooking, stir in a little beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Serve over hot, buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with extra fresh parsley for a vibrant presentation.

Oct 1, 2023I added a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra richness. Also, browning the beef before putting it in the slow cooker adds a nice depth of flavor.

May 7, 2023I'm not a mushroom fan, so I used cream of celery soup instead and it was still fantastic!

Dec 21, 2022I used a chuck roast instead of round steak and it turned out incredibly tender. Just shredded it with two forks before adding the sour cream.

Jun 15, 2022Make sure the sour cream is room temperature, otherwise it can curdle when you add it to the hot stroganoff.
