As I was preparing this dinner, I got to thinking. Stroganoff is a really strange word, isn't it? I mean, say it to yourself a few times. The more you say it, the stranger it gets! And if you write it a few times, it gets even stranger than that!
So I decided to find out what the heck that word is. Thank goodness for the internet and search engines, how did we ever survive without them? Can you imagine if I actually had to go look this up in a dictionary, or worse, head to the library for an encyclopedia?? How barbaric! 😀
I found out from Wikipedia that this dish has Russian origins. The article is pretty interesting, although I always take everything I read on Wikipedia with a grain of salt. Anyway, the article speculated that the name of the dish was derived from a member of the Stroganov family.
It also goes into some of the different variations of the dish, including Brazilian, Japanese, and Iranian versions. Whaaaaa? Who knew! You can check out the Wikipedia article if you are curious!
Whatever the origin, this dish is classic comfort food and it is always a big hit in this family. Yes, even Thing 2 loves this dinner! It doesn't hurt that I served it with noodles, since as you know, pasta is one of Thing 2's favorite foods. But even without the noodles, he said it was delicious!
There are more complicated versions out there, which I have tried, but I like this version because it is simple and, according to my recipe critics (DH, Thing 1, and Thing 2), tastes just as good. You just mix up the ingredients, throw them in the slow cooker, and a few hours later dinner is ready!
Make sure you get Certified Angus Beef stew meat, for best results!

Do you think you can leave out the sour cream? I always think stroganoff looks sooo good and everytime I make it I only taste the sour cream and I just don’t like that.
Kristin King
Yes, you can leave out the sour cream but your gravy will be very thin. If that's OK with you, then go for it! Another option might be to cut the sur cream in half and see if that works for you. I hope you like it!

May I make a suggestion? Sometimes I, too, just prefer to omit Sour Cream from a recipe, but I can tell the dish is missing something. Numerous times, instead of American Sour Cream I have subbed in Mexican Sour Cream. Mexican Sour Cream is different----it doesn't have the sour/tart taste like American Sour Cream, it has a smoother mild taste. I have also used Mexican Table Cream with pleasant results. Both come in tall glass jars in the refrigerated section where the Mexican cheeses are. Good luck in your search, you might even try cream cheese as a substitute!

Great tip! Thank you!

Plain yogurt - I prefer Greek yogurt - has the same texture and creaminess without overwhelming everything else. It's also healthier, lots of probiotics.

Great idea, Mimi! Thanks for chiming in!
