Poor man's stroganoff

Ingredients:
1/2kg ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Transfer the cooked ground beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker with the ground beef.
Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender.
Just before serving, stir in the sour cream until well incorporated into the sauce.
Serve the Poor Man's Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Good idea with brussel sprouts. Because they aren't a root vegetable, they need to be on top of the meat. So, root vegetables on the bottom, then your seared meat, then your brussel sprouts and onion or whatever on top (I often use chopped spring onions and the green part of a leek. I grow them, so they re-shoot after cutting). Placing root vegetables at the bottom makes sure they are thoroughly cooked. I found cooking defrosted peas or beans for 8hrs makes them mushy.
Oh, do you grow, leeks? I grow spring onions, and keep a stock of them easily in the garden. But have no clue for leeks. Any advise/tips would be wonderful.

Just went in the backyard and took this photo for you. I have always grown them in pots and usually water them every 2nd day. I have a few seedlings from Bunnings, plus also a couple of leeks bought from the supermarket. Pick one that still has it's roots - likewise with spring onions. Just stick in a pot, and they grow! Of course use vegetable potting mix.
