slow cooker beef stroganoff

Beef stroganoff started its life as a dish by French chefs for the Russian aristocracy (Count Stroganoff for those playing at home)! Yet it somehow ventured out to America and Australia where it became a midweek meal. Rather than seeing this as a fall from grace, I see it as a compliment to its versatility.
