Qty	Item
2 lbs 907 g	Beef chuck roast, cubed
12 oz 340 g	Cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium 150 g	Yellow onion, diced
4 cloves 12 g	Garlic cloves, minced
2 cups 473 ml	Beef broth, low sodium
2 tbsp 30 ml	Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp 15 g	Dijon mustard
1 tsp 2 g	Smoked paprika
1 cup 240 g	Sour cream
2 tbsp 16 g	Cornstarch
2 tbsp 30 ml	Cold water
12 oz 340 g	Wide egg noodles, cooked

2 Instructions

Place the cubed beef, sliced mushrooms, diced onions, and minced garlic into the slow cooker.

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the beef is tender and falling apart.

In a small ramekin, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker and cook on high for another 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Turn off the heat or set to warm. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Serve the beef and mushroom mixture over hot cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

·
For the best flavor, sear the beef cubes in a hot skillet with a little oil before adding them to the crock pot.
·
Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture; low-fat versions can sometimes curdle or break in the heat.
·
Add the sour cream at the very end when the heat is low to ensure the sauce remains silky.
·
If you want even more umami flavor, add a splash of dry white wine or sherry with the broth.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of meat?

Yes, while chuck roast is best for slow cooking, you can also use beef stew meat or round roast.

Can I cook the noodles directly in the slow cooker?

It is recommended to cook them separately to prevent them from becoming too mushy and absorbing all the sauce.

Can I substitute the sour cream?

Greek yogurt is a good substitute, though it is slightly tangier. Ensure you add it off the heat to avoid curdling.

How should I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
