Recipe: Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

I make a lot of crockpot recipes for the convenience of them.. but I especially like this recipe for Beef Stroganoff because the slow cooking makes the meat more tender...

I know this uses canned soup and some other shortcuts.. but ... trust me.. this makes a really good Stroganoff.

TIPS

Make sure you use Golden Mushroom Soup... don't substitute Cream of Mushroom Soup.. it's just not as good...

The recipe calls for a 1/2 packet of dry onion soup mix.. I used Lipton... the savory flavor is really a good mix with the Golden Mushroom Soup..

Many recipes call for sautéing the mushrooms before adding them.. I don't do that.. I think it adds unnecessary fat to the sauce and the mushrooms cook very nicely in the crock pot (added about 45 minutes or so before serving).

Many other recipes call for beef bouillon .. my recipe uses beef broth... I use lower sodium broth.. which helps cut the salt in the dish.. again.. I really don't think all that salt is needed.

Try this.. it's really terrific!
