Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2½ pounds beef stew meat 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 packet onion soup mix or use homemade blend 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (or canned and drained) 1 cup sour cream 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Salt and black pepper to taste Optional garnish: fresh parsley or thyme Optional thickeners: ½ teaspoon xanthan gum mixed with 1 teaspoon olive oil (low carb) 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (standard)

Method
 

  1. Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the beef stew meat, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and mushrooms to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and infused with flavor.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the softened cream cheese and mix until fully melted. Add sour cream and stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  6. If the sauce is too thin, thicken it with xanthan gum mixture (for low carb) or cornstarch slurry.
  7. Serve hot over your choice of egg noodles, mashed potatoes, riced cauliflower, or veggie noodles.
  8.  
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme if desired.

Notes

  • You can prep everything the night before and store it in the fridge, then start the slow cooker in the morning.
  • This meal freezes well—store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • For extra flavor, brown the beef before adding to the crockpot (optional).
 
  • Stir in a splash of beef broth if you prefer a looser sauce.
