I love starting the week off with a good slow cooker dinner idea!  If you need a little help and inspiration for what to feed the family this week, here it is.  I always said that I don’t mind cooking, in fact I rather enjoy it.  What I don’t enjoy is having to decide what to cook every single night.  When my kids were younger and living at home I use to make each of them come up with one dinner idea for the week so I didn’t have to come up with all the ideas.  Surprisingly enough they didn’t come up with anything too wild or crazy and I didn’t have to veto too often.

So today I’m going to help you with that never ending decision of what to have for dinner!  Have Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff!

This particular recipe uses stew meat which I love because I can buy it all cut up, ready to go.  All I did was brown up some onions and garlic in some olive oil in a pan first.

How to Make Beef Stroganoff

I put those in the bottom of the slow cooker and then browned my stew meat in the same pan after having coated it with some paprika, salt and pepper.  I have become a big fan of smoked paprika and that is what I used.  You can use regular paprika but I love the extra flavor that the smoked paprika gives the meat!

Put the browned meat into the slow cooker too and then pour over some water and tomato puree.  Then just add the lid and let it cook on low for about 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

The meat should be nice and tender and pull apart easily when it is done.  I like to serve it with a nice wide egg noodle, that way it catches all the sauce.  I topped mine with a little fresh parsley because it is just prettier that way.

Traditionally stroganoff has sour cream in it.  Because my husband is dairy free I left it out and it was still rich and delicious.  If you’d like it a little creamier and more traditional add in some sour cream.

I am often ask what kind of slow cooker I use.  Here is my favorite slow cooker.
