Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff:

2-3 pounds stew meat (or a 3-pound chuck roast, cubed)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium yellow onion
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ cups beef broth or stock
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/3 cup flour
6-7 tablespoons water
2 tbsp spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup light or regular sour cream

Place the stew meat, salt, pepper and onion in the slow cooker. Stir to distribute the seasonings and onion. In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth and ketchup. Pour over the meat. Cook for 7-9 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. About 30 minutes before serving, combine the flour, mustard, and water in a small bowl, whisking vigorously to combine well. The roux should be thick but still pourable so add a tablespoon of water at a time to thin, if needed. Pour the flour mixture into the slow cooker, whisking quickly to mix in the roux with the stew meat and juices and to avoid lumps. Cook on high for 30 minutes. Stir in ½ cup sour cream right before serving. Serve over pasta, rice or baked potatoes (I prefer no-yolk egg noodles!).

(Feel free to add mushrooms - the husband hates them, so I leave them out.)

This sounds so yummy!! Thank you for posting, I'll be trying this very soon!!

Not only sounds yummy - it IS YUMMY!!! This is being saved for many other meals. I would even serve this for company. I used chobani 0% plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Yummo.

I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!


2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon honey

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.

4 servings, 165 calories each.

This sounds AMAZING! Thank you for sharing and including nutritional info! I'm going to bring this for Thanksgiving

What do Lentils taste like, is it like a very earthy taste to them?

Lentils absorb flavor pretty well so it depends what you cook it with. If you cook it down plain in just salted water it's kind of bland.
