Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff
When I was growing up the only way we ate stroganoff was with ground beef. I don’t think that I even knew there was another way to make it. I actually really love ground beef stroganoff. The creamy sauce and the mushrooms have me licking my plate. No really. I literally licked my plate last night.
This version is a little different because it has cream cheese as well as sour cream! YUM! Plus it has a little dried dill. And it doesn’t have any cream of mushroom soup in it. You can easily make it gluten free. Just serve it over rice instead of noodles (or use a gluten free pasta).
This slow cooker ground beef stroganoff goes well with a side salad or steamed broccoli. It’s the perfect season for lots of delicious fruits like watermelon, peaches, cherries and blueberries too. That’s how I like to roll on a summer evening.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.* My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that it has a stove top function. This is perfect for sauteing or browning before you slow cook. This slow cooker has four manual cooking functions: slow cook, stove top sear/Saute, steam, and bake.

Love all your recipes and use them every week. One question here. Can I substitute whipped cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese. I live in the country and its a long run to the store for just one ingredient, but I really want to make this tomorrow.
Oh yes that would be just fine
I replaced the beef broth with 1 can of cream of mushroom and about 3/4 cup of water. Also added 1tsp paprika. I also used cooked elbow macaroni which I added when putting in the cream cheese and sour cream. Didn’t need the corn starch, you may need to add a little more water if it is too thick. It tasted excellent!

Sounds like a great version Rodger!
We add Worcestershire sauce to our stroganoff.
Love that idea!
Have you tried it with ground turkey?
Do but it would work great!
