Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

When the weather cools off outside I enjoy creating delicious, hearty Crockpot dinners.  My Crockpot Beef Stroganoff dinner is easy to prepare and cook.  I use beef stew meat in this dish but you can use any beef that you like.  If I'm short on prep time I use frozen meat.  The key to a great tender and juicy beef dish is to cook the meat in a liquid for a long period of time at a low heat.  This method is called braising and is used to tenderize less expensive and tough cuts of meat.  I add sour cream to the pot at the end of cooking time.  You can serve this dish over egg noodles.  Happy Cooking!
