My Very Best Beef Stroganoff

HeidiSue's Note:

My good friend Melissa used to make a wonderful beef stroganoff a long time ago and all I could remember is that her secret ingredient was gingerale. I know that sounds weird, but it was very good so I came up with this recipe and it just turned out great. So easy and so good!

This was good and easy. I was afraid of the mustard - it just seemed out of place in this stroganoff. Other than that, it was fine and we liked it. Will try again without the mustard next time. Thanks, HeidiSue.

I loved this recipe. The meat was tender, the flavoring was great. I never had stroganoff before, but love it now! I didn't have the beef broth so added beef gravy and it was still great. thanks

I made this for hubby and I and another couple. We all agreed that this is a 5 star dish. I followed your instructions exactly and wouldn't change a thing. It cooked in the crockpot for about 6 hours, producing a VERY tender dish. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing, HeidiSue.
