Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

My husband and I recently moved into a bigger place, and I finally pulled the crock pot out of a box two days ago.  When he saw it sitting on the counter full of food the next day he couldn't help but laugh.  He said, "I knew the second you pulled that thing out you would use it immediately.  You love that thing."  I do.  This is one of my top 5 recipes.

 

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff  

1 pound cubed beef stew meat

2 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 packet onion soup mix

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup water

1 cup beef broth

salt and pepper

3-4 garlic cloves chopped

1/2 cup fresh mushrooms

4 oz cream cheese

1 dollop of sour cream (optional)

Salt and pepper stew meat.  Combine soup, onion, soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, water, broth, garlic in crock pot.  Cook on for 4-5 hours on low.

30 minutes before serving, add fresh mushrooms, cream cheese and sour cream.  Stir. Serve over egg noodles.

I hadn't made this in a long time, and I thought it would be good to cook it all day.  I left it for 8 hours, and I was sorry. I like my stroganoff with large chunks of meat.  While the flavor was great, the long cook time shredded the meat, and the pieces were too small.  Still tasty....just going to stick to my recipe for 4-5 hours on low.
