Instructions

1. (Optional but worth it) Brown the beef
   Quickly sear beef in a hot skillet with oil for extra flavor. Transfer to crock pot.
2. Load the slow cooker
   Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, broth, Worcestershire, Dijon, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook low & slow
   • LOW: 7–8 hours
   • HIGH: 4–5 hours
     Beef should be super tender.
4. Thicken (if needed)
   Stir in cornstarch slurry during the last 20–30 minutes.
5. Make it creamy
   Turn off heat and stir in sour cream at the end (prevents curdling).
6. Serve
   Spoon over egg noodles or rice and enjoy the comfort 😌
