TO THICKEN THE SAUCE before serving:
Xanthan Gum (low carb option): dissolve ½ teaspoon xanthan gum with 1 teaspoon olive oil, then add to sauce at the end. Stir in and allow to thicken before serving.
Corn Starch Slurry: 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a ladle full of the stroganoff sauce. Leave the lid off of the crock pot and continue to cook on low until the sauce thickens.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve over rice or egg noodles with a fresh side salad, steamed broccoli, or beans. Low-carb keto followers serve over riced cauliflower or zoodles.
