This Beef Stroganoff recipe takes the classic beef stroganoff recipe and turns it into an easy slow-cooker meal. Tender beef, hearty mushrooms and a creamy sauce poured over a bowl of warm egg noodles is the definition of comfort food. It also re-heats well. Read on to enter the giveaway!June is National Dairy Month and I for one am thankful for dairy. Butter, cheese, milk, yogurt; I wouldn’t want to cook without them! It’s also perfect timing for the release of this cookbook that compiles recipes from America’s dairy farmers, The Dairy Good Cookbook.

Great big thank you to all of the families who work hard to produce all the wholesome dairy products that our family enjoys and to Dairy Good for sponsoring this post (as always, the opinions and text are my own).

A little about this cookbook:

*113 everyday, family-friendly recipes shared by the folks who work hard to create the dairy products we love.
*You get a glimpse of the families that produce the dairy products in your fridge. I particularly liked reading about the Lourenzo family from Oregon who get their children involved with their farm. It’s similar to our family’s story (minus the cows, of course). We also love to get the whole family involved with our blog; developing recipes together and giving our son a deeper appreciation for what’s on his dinner plate. The book doubles as a teaching tool to show kids where their dairy products come from.
*The Dairy Good Cookbook is available in stores nationwide or can also be purchased online through Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Indie Bound

    Dumb question, but for the two cloves of garlic after the 8-10hrs, do you remove them along with the bay leaf, or do I mince the cloves of garlic prior to adding them to the dish?

      Hi Jacob! Yes, see the ingredient list, the recipe calls for 2 cloves of minced garlic so there is no need to remove them with the bay leaf. I hope you love this recipe.

      Hi Yelena, I would not recommend cooking sherry since it has salt and other add-ins that are not desirable. It tends to change the flavor profile of this dish and can also be sweeter.

      Hi Mickie, Some white wine may work well as a substitute or chicken broth if you prefer to remove alcohol completely. It may need to be adjusted for seasoning though since the sherry does add flavor to the dish.

    Tasted nothing like I expected but it was very good. The tanginess of the sour cream and dill is very distinctive, it works well though with the other ingredients.

    I added another 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper after tasting. I substituted the sherry for equal parts seasoned rice vinegar and water because I’ve been hungover too many times to be able to (potentially) taste alcohol and not feel sick. I’ll probably double the mushrooms next time because I love them.

          1-whole 4 lb. chicken, cut up
          1 cup flour
          1 can Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
          1/2 c. dry sherry
          1/2 cup milk or 1/2 & 1/2
          Dredge chicken pieces in flour, brown them for about five minutes each side, until golden brown. Place into an 8 inch baking dish. Mix the soup, sherry and milk together. Spread onto chicken. Bake in preheated 350o oven for about 40 minutes, or until thickest piece registers 160 on an instant-read thermometer.

          Natasha, I long ago misplaced the written recipe, but this is pretty accurate, as I have made it numerous times…Might I add that this is not one of those ordinary soup recipes…the sherry takes it over the top.

    This recipie is a hit! I specifically bought a slow cooker to try this recipie out (best $20 I’ve ever spent lol) it was delicious! Upon preparing for this recipie it’s definitely obvious that 1/4 teaspoon of salt is 100% not enough for 1.5 pounds of beef stew. I added at least a teaspoon of salt + doubled the paprika, thyme and pepper, and then also added some Monterrey bay steak seasoning. I find that cutting the meat a little less than an inch will provide you with a much tender and flavorful product. I cooked this in a 7quart cooker for about 4.5 hours and it came out delicious! I added a bit more salt at the end and it was perfect, thanks Natasha!

        Some may wish to substitute another alcohol just because they don’t have the dry sherry on hand. But for those who, like me, don’t consume any alcohol, just remember that in the cooking the alcohol itself burns off, leaving just the extra touch of flavor.

      You might try a coconut cream, or see if there is a substitute in the aisle with the soy , almond, or rice milks. If it lacks the tang of sour cream, add a little vinegar.

      Hi Vicki, I honestly can’t remember the brand that I used. If you go to the liquor store, any dry sherry you get should work – they run $7-$14 and I most likely bought one around $7-$9. I would not recommend cooking sherry since it has salt and other add-ins that are not desirable.

    We just finished devouring this delicious stroganoff! My husband took one bite and instantly gave it a 10! I loved it too and we are big stroganoff fans!

    I read the reviews about dry sherry but it was already too late and used cooking sherry – still delicious! Perhaps it may be an 11/10 with drinking sherry 🙂 Even my fussy daughter loved every bit of it!

    I made this today, currently needs 20 min and it will be done. When I read dry sherry I thought you meant cooking sherry…And just now I read the comments and realized you were talking about dry sherry wine not cooking sherry… We will see what happens.

      Hi Anna, I follow the rule of thumb that you should cook with wine that you could drink (even though I don’t drink). Cooking wines have additives that alter the taste. I used to use cooking wines but I have had much nicer results using table wines. You don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for decent bottles – most wine brands are better than cooking wines and they run as low as $7 or so per bottle. I love cooking with wine because it adds really unique flavor that is hard to substitute. This is why I have several bottles of wine on hand all the time 😉

      Hi Jooha, We don’t drink either (at all), but we keep some nice bottles of wine for cooking purposes. You can keep sherry for a long time after buying it. I think it would still turn out ok if you added a little more beef broth instead of sherry.

    Hi Natasha, I found your site not long ago and its amazing how many things are here 🙂 Question: can this slow cooker beef stroganoff stuff be frozen? My husband is on a diet and my 5 yo is not a great eater, I dont want to waste a good meal that can be preserved for the next week? I am wondering if it will lose the original flavor and texture if frozen…

      My rule of thumb with cooking wine is if It’s drinkable (although I don’t drink), it’s good to cook with. The cooking wines in grocery stores have additives that make them pretty awful to drink. I think the flavor would be better with a good table wine but if you must, I’d suggest cutting the cooking wine in half to reduce the chance of off flavors.

        Do not use ‘cooking’ wines for any dish, they are not fit for drinking, thus not fit for cooking. We don’t drink but keep a red, blush and white on hand, good wine, just for cooking. The heat evaporates the alcohol. You want ‘good’ food, use good wine. If it turns to vinegar, you have the most wonderful wine vinegars for marinating meats. Never wasted.

    I hate giving bad reviews but I wasted meat (which was around $12 not including all the other ingredients) and my time on this one. The 8 oz of sour cream made this dish sour tasting. It was just not good. Will try to find a stroganoff without sour cream. If you still want to try this recipe, take out the sour cream or at least half it.

      Are you sure you used sherry and not sherry vinegar (or wine that had turned to vinegar)? The sour cream doesn’t make this dish very sour.

      It just says dry sherry on the bottle. Red wine would darken the color of the sauce and would give it a pinker tint. I haven’t tested this recipe with red wine so I can’t say for sure how it would affect the flavor but I would probably try a dry white wine before trying a dry red one.
