By Mary John Resch I find that I am using my crockpot more than I have in a long time. Therefore, I was pleased when Mary Alice sent me one of her friend’s recipes for crockpot Garlic Beef Stroganoff. This is a dish that I enjoy and it used to be very popular years ago. I think you will enjoy this easy version of an old favorite.
CROCKPOT GARLIC BEEF STROGANOFF(Serves 6-8)
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules 2 pounds round steak, cut into thin strips or cubed 1 cup boiling water 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup sliced mushrooms 1 onion chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced – or to taste 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
In a crock pot or slow cooker, dissolve bouillon in water. Add soup, onion, mushrooms, garlic and Worcestershire. In a skillet, brown beef in oil. Drain off the fat. Transfer the beef to the crockpot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or until done and tender. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and smooth. Serve over egg noodles. |
