I ran to the grocery to get comfort food for James -- he was craving a
brownie sundae, so I got ice cream, fudge sauce, and whipped cream,
and then I passed by the sour cream on sale and thought, "I want beef
stroganoff!"

Found a chuck roast on sale, bought some mushrooms, and we were in
business. I use one of those slow-cookers that can be used on the
stove to brown stuff, but you could brown it separately and then put
it in the slow-cooker.

Anyway, it was delicious -- I've never had better, and we had the
small amount of leftovers cooked up with some potatoes for breakfast.

Serene

Slow-cooker Beef Stroganoff

1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. butter or other fat
2 or so pounds chuck roast (I trimmed the biggest pieces of fat), cut
into large cubes
8-12 ounces of fresh button mushrooms, sliced
1 bay leaf

8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp each salt and paprika
pepper to taste
1 capful Kitchen Bouquet, optional

Saute onion in butter briefly. Add cubes of meat and brown. Add
mushrooms and bay leaf. Cover and cook in the slow-cooker on high for
two hours. Remove from heat, remove bay leaf, and add remaining
ingredients. Serve over buttered noodles.

Was too busy scarfing it down, love. :-) (And thanks!)

(Beef stroganoff isn't exactly pretty. I forgot to mention that I
broiled some zucchini spears in a drizzle of balsamic dressing to go
on the side. Them's good eatin'.)

I love beef stroganoff, and this has made me hungry. However, I do not eat
any four, pasta, etc. (diabetes). Is this recipe "thick" enough to eat
alone? If not, I might try it with spaghetti squash, although IMO that
truly does not emulate the taste of either spaghetti or noodles.

Serene, I've never made stroganoff. Do you put the sour cream in for
the whole time? Or add it at the end....tia....Sharon

Yeah, it's like a thick beef stew, especially if you let it cook
uncovered for 10-15 minutes at the end of the 2 hours.

No, you have to add it at the very end or it will curdle. (It's part
of the "remaining ingredients" that get added after the stew is taken
off the heat. The remaining dish is plenty warm enough to eat -- that
small amount of cold sour cream doesn't hurt the temperature any.)

No biggy. That's what we're here for, to entertain each other when
we're sleepy. ;-)

Thanks! That sounds like good "comford food" for me.
