Here are the steps to make this super delicious keto and low carb beef stroganoff:
How To Make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Prep and Assemble
Spray your crockpot with nonstick spray.
Add Ingredients To Crock Pot
In a slow cooker add the beef stew meat, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and fresh mushrooms.
Stir until combined.
Slow Cook
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Add Remaining Ingredients
About 30 minutes before serving add cream cheese that has been brought to room temperature and cut into cubes. Allow it to melt, stirring occasionally.
Tip: let cream cheese and sour cream come to room temperature before adding to slow cooker.
Once the cream cheese is melted add sour cream, then salt and pepper to taste. Because of the dried onion soup mix, you will more than likely not need to add additional salt.
Tip: if stroganoff is too runny, keep lid off after adding cheese and sour cream to allow moisture to evaporate. You can also whisk in 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to sauce and allow to thicken as well.
Serve and Enjoy!
Serve over riced cauliflower if you’re on a low carb or keto diet, otherwise, it’s delicious over egg noodles or rice.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme. That’s it! Super simple.
Helpful Tips
- Let cream cheese and sour cream come to room temperature before adding to slow cooker. Cut cream cheese into cubes for faster melting
- You can substitute different kinds of cream soups to change the taste. The BEST tasting and lowest in carbs is to make your own condensed cream of mushroom soup. It’s not terribly difficult, you can make a bunch at a time and save some for future in the freezer! Recipe: Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Low Carb and Keto)
- If stroganoff is too runny, keep lid off after adding cheese and sour cream to allow moisture to evaporate. You can also whisk in 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to sauce and allow to thicken as well.
Common Questions
| Is there a low carb onion soup mix?
A package of onion soup mix only has 4 g of carbs with less than 1 g of net carbs. A serving size in one package is 8. That is only 0.5g of carbs per serving.
This keto beef stroganoff recipe serves 10, so of the total carbs in this recipe coming from the onion soup mix are only 0.4g. I consider that a low carb onion soup mix!
| How can I tell when my stroganoff is done cooking?
Your stroganoff is done when the meat is tender and breaks apart easily with a fork.
| Best meat for making stew and beef stroganoff?
Beef stew meat or a beef chuck roast is my favorite cuts of beef for slow cooker beef stroganoff. Bottom round, eye round, rump roast, and top round are also good choices.
| How can I make this a low-fat recipe?
You can lower the fat in this recipe by substituting fat-free or low-fat cream cheese, using a low-fat cream soup option, and using a low-fat sour cream.
Keep in mind that using lower fat ingredients may cause your keto beef stroganoff to be runnier.

This is now one of my “go-to” recipes. I put it on in the morning before work and it’s pretty much done when I get home. LOVE IT!
seekinggoodeats says
Thanks Margie! Glad you love it. This low carb slow cooker beef stroganoff is a perfect solution if you work full time or have a busy week!
Sara k Borman says
Hi there! This looks delicious. What do you think would be a good alternative to the cream of mushroom soup?
seekinggoodeats says
Hello Sara! If you don’t like the taste of cream of mushroom soup, cream of onion is a good substitute. If you use cream of onion, make sure to only use half of the onion soup mix or it will be salty. If you are avoiding all cream of “anything” soups, you could try 1 cup of cream or sour cream (lite is fine too). You could even try 1 cup beef gravy (homemade or from a jar). If your stroganoff becomes too runny in the end, just use a thickener or take the lid off and let it evaporate some. Honestly, I’ve been short ingredients before and have made substitutions as needed. Somehow it always comes out delicious! 🙂
Nikki says
Can you cook it on high for less time?
seekinggoodeats says
Yep! You can cook on High for approximately 4 hours or until meat is tender! 🙂 Some crockpots cook hotter then others so it’s hard to be exact. Hope you like it!
Savanna says
I added in the sour cream & cream cheese with everything else and now it’s cooking. Do you think that’s ok??
seekinggoodeats says
Hi Savannah! It is highly possible your sour cream and cream cheese could separate and curdle. I sent an email to your gmail address, with some options! Hope I’m not too late 🙂
Kath says
Don’t add the water to can soup , correct … ? Making and just checking.. thanks having tonight 👍
seekinggoodeats says
You are correct! 🙂
Yvonne says
I accidentally put in the sour cream with everything thing morning, except the cream cheese. Will it be spoiled? It’s very watery right now. I’m hoping I don’t have to throw it away. It’s been 7 hours now. Do you think the cream cheese will thicken it when added?
seekinggoodeats says
Hi! The liquid will naturally build up in a slow cooker anyway, and the cheese will help it chicken as the stroganoff cools. Also, you could remove the lid about 30 minutes (or more) prior to serving to let some of the liquid evaporate. The sour cream added early means that it could curdle, unfortunately. I follow a low carb diet so I use 1/2 tsp xanthan gum to thicken soups and stews if needed. If you are not following a low carb diet you could use some flour mixed with some of the stroganoff as a thickener.
Allison R says
Can you brown the meat before you put it in the crockpot?
seekinggoodeats says
Hi Allison, you sure can!
Stacey says
I see the macros for this but what are the calories per serving ?
seekinggoodeats says
Hi Stacey, 284 calories per serving. The nutritional analysis is back in the post again! Enjoy!
Olivia says
Made this for dinner tonight according to recipe. Was delicious! My husband and I both loved it. I did not add xantham but did leave lid off for about 45 mins and it was plenty thick. Great recipe!
Lyss says
Can I put in the meat frozen? Or has to be thawed?
seekinggoodeats says
Hi! So I will say that I have cooked meat in the crockpot from frozen in the past with no issues. However, according to the USDA the crockpot can’t heat the food up fast enough to kill off the bacteria. To be on the safe side I would recommend defrosting in your microwave then tossing the meat in. There seems to be some debate on this across the internet, but here is a link to their info:
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/Slow_Cookers_and_Food_Safety.pdf
Elizabeth says
Is this something that would freeze well?
seekinggoodeats says
Yes, I have frozen it before!
Stephanie says
Could I use ground beef? I would brown it first.
seekinggoodeats says
Yes, I’m sure. Let me know how it turns out. I thought about making it that way too. You won’t need to cook very long in a crockpot if beef is already cooked. 🙂
