Our slow cooker Poor Man’s Stroganoff is here, delicious and cozy. I have a warm feeling about this food as it reminds me of the happy times I ate as a child. No matter how tight our budget was growing up, my mother had the ability to turn the simplest things into hearty, delicious dinners that filled our bellies and souls. One of these inventions was the poor man’s stroganoff, a version of the traditional Russian dish that became more affordable.Although money was tight, it tasted delicious thanks to the velvety minced meat, aromatic mushrooms and thick, creamy sauce.

With a single bite we would be transported to an oasis of peace and tranquility, far away from the stress of everyday life.
