Ingredients
Scale
Meatball Stroganoff Base
- 32 ounces frozen meatballs
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 ounce dry French onion soup mix (usually 1 packet)
- 1 ounce dry brown gravy mix (usually 1 packet)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Finishing Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 12 ounces egg noodles
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Place frozen meatballs, sliced mushrooms, and condensed cream of mushroom soup into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add dry French onion soup mix, dry brown gravy mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir everything well to evenly combine all ingredients.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1-2 hours or on LOW for 3-4 hours until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is bubbling and thickened. After cooking, keep the mixture on the WARM setting until ready to serve.
- Cook Egg Noodles: Just before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes or according to package instructions until tender but still firm. Drain well.
- Add Sour Cream: Open the slow cooker and stir in the sour cream thoroughly to create a creamy, rich sauce for the meatballs and mushrooms.
- Serve: Spoon the meatball stroganoff mixture over the cooked egg noodles. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a bright, fresh touch and serve hot.
Notes
- For best flavor, use high-quality beef broth and fresh mushrooms if available.
- Frozen meatballs save time but ensure they are fully cooked during slow cooking.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter option, but add it off heat to prevent curdling.
- If preferred, add a pinch of paprika or smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings using a larger slow cooker.
