Expert Tip👉 The cornstarch slurry is used to thicken the sauce towards the end of slow cooking. If your stroganoff does not need a lot of thickening you can simply remove the lid, stir in your sour cream, and allow the ingredients to slow cook until you reach your desired texture for serving. For sauce that is too thick, you can stir in additional broth or keep the lid on the slow cooker.
