This cold, snowy weather has got me craving good ol’ hearty, comfort food. So I broke out my slow cooker, and threw in this divine mixture that makes for the most heavenly beef stroganoff.

To me, beef stroganoff has comfort written all over it. 

Tender chunks of beef and flavorful mushrooms in a creamy, robust sauce over a bed of egg noodles – I could eat it everyday. Actually, this is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day. So, hopefully you’ll have leftovers! 

Be sure to use golden mushroom soup. It really does add more depth of flavor. And you can adjust the sour cream to your liking, as far as tanginess. This is great served over rice or mashed potatoes, too. 

With the slow cooker doing all the work, you will be blown away at the ease of this recipe and rich flavors it creates. It’s perfect for busy week nights. And you’ll love the delicious aromas that fill your home while it’s simmering away.
