- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms Earthy taste complements the beef.
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup Adds a creamy base that enriches the dish.
- 1/2 cup beef broth Builds a flavorful sauce that soaks into the meat.
- 1/2 cup sour cream Adds a touch of tanginess and creaminess.
- 1 tsp garlic powder Brings a warm, aromatic flavor.
- 1 tsp onion powder Complements the garlic.
- 1/2 tsp salt Enhances all the flavors.
- 1/4 tsp black pepper Adds a hint of spiciness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the beef stew meat and sliced mushrooms to your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the beef and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for about 8 hours.

For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and stir in during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Searing beef chunks before adding them to the slow cooker enhances flavor.
