Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 lb stewing beef or beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 16 oz mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 yellow onion, diced or 2 shallots for deeper flavour
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper you might want to add more salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup red wine (optional but it gives a much richer flavour)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (340g/12oz) package egg noodles, fully cooked
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or chives optional

Instructions

  • Spread softened butter all over the bottom of crockpot, then add beef and toss with cornstarch. Add remaining ingredients except for sour cream, egg noodles and parsley/chives to crock pot, stirring well. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6 hours, stirring a few times.
  • In the last 10 minutes of the beef mixture cooking, boil egg noodles for 5 minutes on the stove, then drain and set aside.
  • Once cook time has finished, stir in sour cream and mix to combine well, then gently stir in hot egg noodles. Let the mixture sit with the lid on for 5 minutes (sauce will thicken up this way) then serve with parsley or chives overtop (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to use ground beef, make sure to brown it in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot.
Stir in some veggies by adding broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, bell peppers or zucchini.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 5 days. Sprinkle some water over top then microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Freeze this recipe for up to 3 months, then reheat in the microwave or the oven from frozen.
