Ingredients

Beef Stroganoff

  • 1 ⅓ pounds cubed beef stew meat
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 ounces herb and garlic-flavored cream cheese

Pasta

  • 1 cup fusilli pasta

Garnish (Optional)

  • ¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the cubed beef stew meat, sliced mushrooms, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onions, and Worcestershire sauce to your slow cooker. Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Slow Cook the Beef Mixture: Cover and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 5 to 7 hours, until the beef is tender and flavors have melded nicely.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Stir the herb and garlic-flavored cream cheese into the slow cooker until it is completely dissolved and incorporated, then cook for an additional 1 hour to thicken and enrich the sauce.
  4. Cook the Pasta: During the last 20 minutes of slow cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente—tender but still firm to the bite—about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over the cooked fusilli pasta. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired, and serve immediately for a warm, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality cream of mushroom soup for richer flavor; avoid cheaper brands.
  • No extra liquid is needed aside from the milk to complement the condensed soup.
  • For a thicker sauce, make sure to fully dissolve the cream cheese and allow it to cook further.
  • Fusilli pasta’s spiral shape helps hold the creamy sauce well, making it a perfect pairing.
