Ingredients
Heres what you'll need to make this delicious dinner. You can find the full ingredients list along with measurements and instructions on the recipe card below.
- Egg Noodles- The perfect carb to soak up all the delicious sauce. I used Light N Fluffy Medium Egg Noodles.
- Stew Meat-The star of the dish! Slow cooking turns tough meat into fork tender beef.
- Campbells Golden Mushroom Soup- Adds lots of rich, earthy flavor and keeps the meat moist while cooking.
- Onion- Adds a bit of natural sweetness and balances the rich sauce.
- Worcestershire Sauce- Elevates and enriches the overall flavor. I use Lea & Perrins
- Water- Thins the canned soup just enough to it can coat the meat and not become too thick.
- Cream Cheese- Makes the sauce silky and creamy.
- Salt- Enhances the other ingredients.
- Pepper- Cuts the richness of the sauce.
- Garlic Powder- Adds garlicy flavor through out the dish. I use Mccormick.
- Fresh parsley- An optional garnish that adds a bright pop of color.
Instructions
Heres everything you'll need to make this delicious dinner. You can find the full ingredients along with instructions in the recipe card below.
First, add the stew meat to the crockpot and season it with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir it together until the meat is evenly coated. Add the cans of Golden Mushroom Soup and add the water to the empty cans, give them swirl around to loosen any soup stuck to the sides and add it to the crockpot.
Next, add the chopped onion and Worcestershire sauce and stir it all together. Place the lid on top and set the crockpot to low 8 hours. At the 7.5 hour mark, add the cubed cream cheese and stir it. Let it cook with the meat for the last 30 minutes.
Once the 8 hours is up, stir the meat together one last time breaking any large chunks of stew meat down into smaller pieces and smoothing out any clumps of cream cheese. Stir in the egg noodles and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional), serve warm and enjoy.
Can I Cook This On High Instead Of Low?
Yes, you can cook this on high for about 4-5 hours instead of low. Just be sure the beef is fork tender before adding the cream cheese.
Do I Cook The Egg Noodles First?
Yes, its best to cook the egg noodles separately then add them to the crockpot. You don't want then soaking up too much liquid and turning gummy.
What Cut Of Beef Is Best?
Stew meat or chuck roast cut into chunks is ideal for slow cooking. They become so tender and juicy.
Can I Add Mushrooms?
Yes you can add freshly sliced mushrooms. Place them in with the onions so they can cook and release flavor.
Storage
Let the beef stroganoff cool completely and place it into an air tight container. It will last in the fridge for up to three days.

You can but it may be a little salty. Use low sodium products to balance that out. You can add mushrooms with the beef
Ruth Franzer says
Can you use beef broth instead of water and if you want to add mushrooms when do you add them in?

Chet says
Wow, I have made this for years and this is the very best Beef Stroganoff Recipe.
It out did mine and mine was great too. Not as good as this one.
I had to do mine in a few hours and the stew meat came out tender. That's the trick is to make sure the meat is tender.
I have always added sour cream and never thought about the cream cheese. That did it.
Thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic recipe. People, you have to try this!
