Crock Pot Dairy Free Beef Stroganoff Directions

• Use non-stick spray or a crock pot cooking liner to cover the inside of your crock pot.

• Add sliced mushrooms to the crock pot and gently stir all ingredients to combine.
• Add 1 cup beef broth, Worcestershire, Soy (Tamari) and Dijon. Cover and cook on High for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
• When cooking is complete, set the crock pot to Warm. Stir the cornstarch (gluten-free Cassava) together with the reserved ½ cup of beef broth to create a slurry. You may need to add a little more cornstarch or flour to get a thicker consistency.
• Gradually stir the slurry into the crock pot and cook on High for 20 minutes. Stir often.
• Once the slurry has thickened the sauce, reduce the heat again to Warm and slowly stir in the Coconut Milk.  Stir continuously to prevent curdling.
