But don’t be fooled by its simplicity; it really does taste like a meal that I spent a lot of time preparing. It is rich, satisfying, and delicious. A family favorite for sure. I like to serve it with fresh green beans.
Instructions For Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe:
Add all ingredients except sour cream to the crockpot and cook on low for 6 – 7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours until meat is tender. Add sour cream, stir well, and cook for 20-30 minutes longer until heated through.
Serve over 12 oz of wide egg noodles cooked according to package directions.
Note:
I use low-fat soups and sour cream, but you can substitute with regular-fat content ingredients for a creamier consistency.
Double the recipe for a large family.

Notes

About Laura
IÂ am a Southern California turned small town, Midwest Mom. I am wife to Bruce and mom to my three girls.
Back when I first started my organizing journey in 2013, I had what I thought of as a dirty little secret. I have ADHD and although I am organized, and enjoy the process of sorting, and tidying. I knew that there were many others with ADHD who really struggled with staying organized. I had a case of imposter syndrome and mostly kept the fact that I had ADHD to myself. That is until I learned that there are other successful professional organizers who have also learned to compensate for their ADHD.
I eventually realized that my need for order and simplicity actually stems from having ADHD as a way to compensate for my short attention span. So my gifts and my challenges are all ironically tied together to create who I am, and I am able to relate to and help others as a result of this coping method that I have developed for myself.
I help women and moms with ADHD, but I also help those who struggle with clutter without having ADHD. Because simplicity and less clutter are always at the heart of staying organized, there is much overlap when it comes to finding solutions to clutter and disorganization.
I am dedicated to keeping my life as simple as possible and to helping others do the same by teaching them how to declutter their homes, simplify their lives, and manage their busy families better.
I hold a BA in Psychology and a CE (Coaching Essentials) Certification
