Beef Stroganoff In The Crock Pot

 

Today I am making Beef Stroganoff in the Crock Pot. It is one of my son's favorites and this one is pretty much my own concoction after trying different recipes and making this one my own. 

Ingredients:

2.5 lbs of beef cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes, sirloin or london broil

16 oz sliced or cut mushrooms (optional)

2 cans, 2 cans water of French Onion soup

1 tbs garlic, i use the one from a jar

1 tsp each of salt and pepper

1 tbs dried parsley

3 tbs worcestershire sauce

1 cup sour cream

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 

12– ounces egg noodles


Instructions:

Place beef, soup/water, garlic, parsley, salt & pepper, w orcestershire sauce in crock pot and set on low for 8 hrs. If you like mushrooms they would be added now too. My son loves them but my budget doesn't allow for things that are expensive and I don't eat. hahaha 

After the 8 hrs set to warm and add the cream cheese and sour cream. Then boil the noodles and fold into the crock pot or put on plate and serve beef mixture over them. Add more parsely as a garnish if desired. Here in my house we don't take time for garnish we just eat!  LOL But this dish is good enough to serve if you are having company over. Ah I miss those days when people would actually invite "company" over for dinner.....

Note: try w/o the cream cheese next time.

Sausage, Peppers, Onions and Potatoes in the Oven.

 

So I wanted to try an oven version of this recipe because well the crock pot is just a different textre. I was very pleased with the results but I will probably want to buy a better cut of sausage as this one really had a great deal of water in it.
But anyway I am showing you the before and after pictures and also below is the link for the origional recipie. I did not cut mine up as small and I used a baking dish instead of cookie sheet so it took about twice as long to bake. Just watch it and check every 20 min after the 1st 30 till the potatoes are fork tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz. package smoked sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, small chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, small chopped
  • 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
  • 2 lbs. yellow or red potatoes, small chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Add sausage, veggies, potatoes and garlic to a large lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. With your hands, toss mixture together until evenly distributed.
  3. Bake until veggies and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
  4. (Your favorite hot sauce and sour cream make a delicious pairing with this!)
