Jenny's Tip: - This is a fantastic crock pot recipe! Sear the meat separately in a pan and add to your crock pot, then follow steps 1-4. Add all the ingredients to your crock pot except for the peas, sour cream, heavy cream and noodles. Set your crock pot on low before you go to work. Then when you come home boil the egg noodles and finish the stroganoff with the peas, sour cream, and heavy cream and serve over a bed of egg noodles!
