  • 1 16oz container French onion dip - this replaces sourdough cream in a regular beef stroganoff, but if you don't want to use it you can swap for French onion mix and sour cream.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 12 oz egg noodles, cooked

    • 👩🍳 How to Make Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

    • Layer the base: Add beef to the crock pot. Layer the onions, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.

    • Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

    • Make it creamy: Stir in the cream cheese and let it melt completely, then stir in the sour cream.

    • Add noodles: Fold in the cooked egg noodles just before serving.

    • Serve: Top with fresh parsley and pair with warm sourdough.


      • 🪄 Tips and Tricks

    • > Brown the beef first for even deeper flavor (optional).

    • > Use Greek yogurt and French onion soup mix instead of the dip for a lighter version.

    • > Swap noodles for mashed potatoes or rice.

    • > Add mushrooms during cooking for extra heartiness.

    • > Make it gluten-free with GF egg noodles and GF soup mix.
