This slow-cooker stroganoff was something I made a while back, when it was probably a bit cooler. But with June gloom in full swing, a warm, meaty plate of slow-cooked beef and pasta is totally appropriate for dinner, I say.
Beef Stroganoff (recipe adapted from Everyday Food)
2-3 pounds beef chuck (with decent marbling), trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 sweet brown onion, chopped
2/3 pounds white button mushrooms, trimmed and halved
1/3 pounds cremini mushrooms, trimmed and halved
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Cooked egg noodles, rotini, or other short pasta
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, toss beef, onion and mushrooms with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Turn off or keep on warm.
In a 2-cup heatproof measuring cup, stir cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Ladle about a cup of cooking liquid into measuring cup, whisk to combine. Pour mixture into a small saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, until smooth and thickened. Pour cornstarch mixture into slow cooker and stir well. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard.
Serve beef over noodles and garnish generously with dill and a dollop of sour cream, if desired (and you will desire it).

Bonus: A short play about me and Crock-Pots. Based on a true story.
Walking through Target with her boyfriend, IV spots a Crock-Pot on sale.
IV: OOOO!
G: But ... you already have a Crock-Pot.
IV: But THIS one has a digital timer!
G: You just said the other day you wanted to hug your Crock-Pot after it worked all day and made some delicious beef stroganoff for you. And this is how you show your appreciation?
(After a long pause.)
IV: Fine. (Another pause.) I'm sorry.
G: Don't apologize to me.
Later, at home, Inez hugs her Crock-Pot tenderly.

You can cheer on the crock pot all you want, I'm cheering on the pressure cooker!
Ahh, the pressure cooker is also well-loved by my family! Haven't quite gotten the knack for it myself yet though.
