Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

This is a really easy version of stroganoff that the kids love. It makes a thick sauce which is great to serve with hearty noodles like penne.

To crock pot add:
1 & 1/2 -2 lbs stew beef (or roast, cut up)
1 can cream of mushroom, or cream of chicken soup
1 onion, chopped
1 c beef broth
salt and pepper
1-2 tsp garlic powder (to your taste)
1 can mushrooms (optional)

I stir all the ingredients together, cover and cook on low for 8-10hrs. One hour before serving, add 1 package of cream cheese (cut into chunks to allow to melt easier), or 1 cup sour cream. let cook for remaining hour. If you choose to cook it with cream of broccoli soup, then add fresh broccoli pieces the last hour of cooking also.
