Slow cooker Beef Stroganoff.

Ingredient lists;
#1.
1/3 C      All purpose flour
1 tsp       Salt
1/2 tsp    Pepper
1/2 tbsp  Paprika

900g       Lean beef stewing meat
2 C         Fresh Mushrooms

#2.
1             chopped Onion
1/4 tsp    Garlic Powder
14 oz      Tomatoes
2 tsp       Beef Bouillon Powder
2 tbsp     Sherry
2 tbsp     Worcestershire  Sauce

#3.
1 C         Sour cream

Combine list 1 in a large ziplock bag.  Coat the beef by adding small amounts to the bag and shaking, until all the beef is coated.
Brown the beef in a saute pan with some olive oil. This is not necessary, but I find that it adds a richer flavour and some colour to the finished product.
Place the beef in the bottom of the slow cooker,Add the onion and the mushrooms on top.

Mix together list #2, and pour it into the slow cooker over the beef, onions and mushrooms.
Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or an low for 7-9 hours.

Add the 1 Cup of sour cream a 1/2 hour before the end of the cooking time.

Serves 6.
