Recipe

1 jar sliced mushrooms
1 pack onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushrooms soup (do not add water)
1/3 cup white wine

Serves 4

My Revisions
I wanted to make this recipe healthier than it was already written, so I made a few revisions.
First, I used top sirloin and trimmed off all the fat. I only used one pound instead of two and it was more than enough when it was done.
Instead of a jar of mushrooms, I used a pound of fresh mushrooms.
I used low sodium onion soup mix.
I used Campbell's healthy request low sodium cream of mushroom soup.
I cooked it on low for 6 hours.

Outcome
This meal was very good. I love beef stroganoff and this was just as good as the regular home made dish. The first time I made it, it was in the crock pot for 11 hours and it completely burned. So I recommend keeping on eye on this while you cook it the first time to see how long it needs in your crock pot. The second time I made it, I watched it, and after 6 hours on low it was ready. I just put it on keep warm for the last 2 hours until we were ready to eat. It came out perfect and creamy. My husband and my son both loved it and said they definitely wanted it again.
