My time off from school is coming to an end this weekend. For the past month I've kept myself busy baking tons of cookies for the holidays (some turning out better than others), as well as trying other recipes, and reading many books. So tonight I decided to make one last good home cooked meal for my family before classes start back up Monday and I once again fall off the face of the Earth.
As previously mentioned, my new obsession is Pintrest.com. This website has so many awesome ideas for anything from food to clothes to home decoration and everything in between. So I came across a blog titled "The Crockstar" featuring "The Absolute BEST Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Recipe, the Best." I'm not usually a fan of beef stroganoff but I had cubed stew meat in the freezer waiting for it's turn to be used, so I figured I'd give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did; it tasted fantastic!
Enjoy this fabulous recipe!
Crockpot Beef Stroganoff
2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 largish onion diced (I used 2 onions- my family loves onions)
2-3-4 TBSP of Worcestershire (this stuff is so awesome I always add more)
1/2 cup water ( I substituted red wine - it adds such great flavor!)
8 oz of cream cheese
couple of dashes of Garlic Salt ( approx. 1 - 2 tsp.)
couple dashes of Hot Paprika (approx. 1 - 2 tsp. - optional but encouraged)
In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients, except the meat AND the Cream Cheese, together. Once combined add the meat and mix together.
Cook on Low for 8 hours. Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes.
Serve over egg noodles.
