This recipe tasted like hamburger helper!

I followed the recipe. As it was cooking, all the tomatoes and beef seemed more like goulash than stroganoff. At the end, I tried some with the sour cream, and mixed Parmesan cheese into the rest. The herbs from the stroganoff mix and Parmesan cheese produced a pretty good (not outstanding) goulash. The sour cream produced a bland, mildly-acidic stroganoff. So if you're wanting to cook up some strogonaff, I would suggest you find another recipe. If you're wanting to make an easy, crock pot goulash, you could use this one, substituting about a third cup of Parmesan cheese for the cup of sour cream.

This recipe is an excellent base. With some minor changes, I found it really outstanding! These were the edits I made: - left out mushrooms (not a fan) - only used 1 packet of stroganoff seasoning (vs 2) - used full bag of wavy egg noodles - added additional seasonings to crockpot with meat (cut into 1.5" chunks) / tomatoes and cooked on low for 8 hours (minced garlic, red pepper flake, basil, oregano, salt, pepper) - with about an hour left, i pulled out and cut the meat into small shreds and then returned it to the crockpot - after adding the pasta, i cooked it together for only about 10 minutes (to avoid mushy pasta) Stroganoff is a standard crockpot meal in fall and winter for us and this will be replacing my old recipe! It had a subtle sweetness and fantastic creaminess. Loved it!

I used 2 cups penne instead of egg noodles, I used tomato sauce but not the chopped tomatoes. I also, did not add mushrooms. I added onion and garlic and cooked in a regular skillet. I also did not have sour cream and as gross and weird as it may sound, I used chive cream cheese in mine. It was delicious!! :) I like to look at different recipes to get an idea and I change them around.

Cooked on low for 8 hours, added noodles (I did add about 3 cups), cooked 30 more minutes on high. Had really good flavor, the noodles got a little mushy. Will make again, but I think I will cook noodles (or rice would be good) separately. Overall, a really good recipe.

I did not care for this recipe. I love allrecipes and make recipes off the site all the time. I followed the directions exactly and I don't even know how you could alter this to make it better. Definitely will not make this one again.

I cooked this on high for 4hrs and the beef came out very tender. The stroganoff seasoning was a bit salty and the dish could benefit by the addition of an extra cup of egg noodles. Overall a nice dish that we will definitely make again.
