Notes
Make sure your beef is cut into small enough pieces to fit in your mouth in a single bite. You won't want to have to cut meat while you're eating your stroganoff.
If you're in a hurry, you can also cook this stroganoff for 4-5 hours on HIGH. In my experience, the flavor is still the same, but the meat is a little tougher.
Egg noodles are traditional in this recipe, but you can substitute them for elbow macaroni, penne, cavatappi, or whatever you have on hand.
Gluten free option: The stroganoff sauce is gluten free (double check your Worcestershire. If you can't find gluten free Worcestershire, you can use gluten free Tamari sauce or coconut aminos instead). Serve over gluten free noodles.
Storage: To store leftovers, stir remaining noodles into sauce. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish.
Freezer: To freeze, combine the "before cooking" ingredients in a freezer bag. Freeze flat in the freezer for up to 3 months. To cook, thaw in a bowl overnight. Then transfer to the slow cooker the next day and follow the remaining instructions.
