Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff – Beef is slow cooked with mushrooms. Using a slow cooker makes this easy enough for any night.
I sometimes have to laugh at myself. I said that I wasn’t going to take on anything else – including cookbook reviews – until after the baby comes, but here I am with another cookbook review!! This is one that I just couldn’t turn down, though, because it looked like such a great one!!
I’m sure most of you have been on the website MyRecipes.com. MyRecipes.com is the home of thousands of recipes from some of your favorite magazines – including Cooking Light, Real Simple, Southern Living and more. It is a great resource for recipes. So when you compile together the top 200 rated recipes, you know you are going to have a good cookbook on your hands!!
I first have to mention a pretty cool feature that this cookbook has. You can download an app on your phone – called the Digimarc Discover App – and then scan pictures from the cookbook and get additional content – including videos, recipes, meal planners, and more. I had fun playing around with it!!
This cookbook is a great collection of recipes. I know that some people complain when all of the recipes are available online, but I’m a cookbook girl and always like things in print!! But that being said, this is a collection of the most popular recipes from the website. So I’m pretty sure all of the recipes can be found online.
Number of Photos: Lots
I’m pretty sure every recipe has a photo with it. And a lot of them use the Digimarc Discover App, so you can definitely have fun looking through this cookbook!
Difficulty Level of Recipes: Easy
I didn’t run across anything that seemed very difficult at all. All of the recipes seemed pretty straight forward.
Availability of Ingredients: easy
Again, straightforward recipes equals easy ingredients!
And here’s what I made:
After almost 7 years of marriage, I found out that one of my husband’s favorite meals is beef stroganoff. And in almost 7 years of marriage, I have never made it. So I thought I’d surprise my husband with this. Honestly, I didn’t even realize this was a slow cooker recipe when I first chose it. It wasn’t until I went to make dinner and I read through the recipe that I realized that my meal plan for that night was changing!! But not a big deal, I just made this the next night. (Oh, and when we went to eat dinner, I also learned that my husband has only ever had beef stroganoff with ground beef. I’ve never had it that way, but it looks like I have something else I need to add to my menu plan!!)
I’m sharing this recipe with you today because I actually made a few changes to it. I have this thing with boiling down the sauces from slow cooked meals after the food is cooked. I included those instructions in the recipe, but it’s optional. I just like for my sauces to be a little thicker, but you do have to realize that it concentrates the flavor as well. But we really liked the final product. Except I totally overcooked my egg noodles, but that is just me, not the recipe!! 🙂Â
Overall, I really did like this cookbook and actually have a few more things bookmarked to make. It’s one that I know I’ll get use out of!

Heather of Kitchen Concoctions says
Beef stroganoff is one of our favorites! I usually always use ground beef (or turkey) because is is so inexpensive and something I always have on hand. Oh and I like cookbooks too even if I know the recipes are on line. Sometimes I feel like it is easier to ‘search’ for recipes in cookbooks. Plus I don’t have to worry about printing the recipe!
Elin says
This cookbook looks awesome!
Kristen says
The recipe looks wonderful! I haven’t tried to make beef stroganoff yet, but this inspired me!

Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says
Funny how it can take 7 years to find a fact such as that about our spouses. Makes you wonder what we’ll be learning 10, 20, 30 years from now!! 🙂 My husband loves beef stroganoff, too, but I don’t really have a hard and fast recipe for it – can’t wait to try this, thanks!
Brianna Palmucci says
