I don’t know about you, but I LOVE my slow cooker. More than a person should. I live in a house with no air conditioner, not even a swamp cooler. When summer roles around, and the heat starts permeating my little house, it is time to pull out the slow cooker. OK, it is already out, and has a permanent place on my counter top. Seriously. I use it at least 3 times a week, all year long. This recipe is beyond easy, and for all of you who are watching your weight, this recipe is only 7 pp (Weight Watchers) INCLUDING the pasta! I prefer my stroganoff with pasta, but you can easily substitute it with brown, or even better wild rice!
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
1 lb ground beef – preferably 95% lean
1 cup Onion – chopped
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 4oz can of Mushrooms
1/4 tsp Garlic salt
1 cup Sour Cream – fat free
2 cups cooked whole wheat pasta
Precook your ground beef. Once ground beef is cooked, add to slow cooker, along with onion, soup, can of water from soup container, mushrooms, and garlic salt. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. 1 hour before serving, add 1 cup of sour cream. Serve over pasta with your favorite vegetable side!
I love this recipe for so many reasons! 1- I always have all the ingredients on hand! 2- It’s a slow cooker meal! 3- I have a 4th of a beef to use up before next year (we’ll discuss this later)! 4- It’s diet food without tasting like diet food!
