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.

Sara k Borman says
March 18, 2019 at 5:59 pmHi there! This looks delicious. What do you think would be a good alternative to the cream of mushroom soup?
seekinggoodeats says
March 18, 2019 at 6:47 pmHello 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
May 30, 2019 at 8:10 pmCan you cook it on high for less time?
seekinggoodeats says
May 31, 2019 at 3:16 pmYep! 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
July 9, 2019 at 2:28 pmI added in the sour cream & cream cheese with everything else and now it’s cooking. Do you think that’s ok??
seekinggoodeats says
July 9, 2019 at 5:26 pmHi 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
July 1, 2019 at 5:10 pmDon’t add the water to can soup , correct … ? Making and just checking.. thanks having tonight 👍
seekinggoodeats says
July 1, 2019 at 5:44 pmYou are correct! 🙂
Yvonne says
October 23, 2019 at 11:26 pmI 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
October 24, 2019 at 3:56 pmHi! 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
October 27, 2019 at 5:42 pmCan you brown the meat before you put it in the crockpot?
seekinggoodeats says
October 27, 2019 at 7:24 pmHi Allison, you sure can!

January 13, 2020 at 11:00 pmMade 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!
