Recipe Friday: Slow Cooker Short Rib Stroganoff

Brrr! The weather is sure getting cold here in the midwest which means it is time to heat up the oven and take out the slow cooker.

This week’s recipe was created by the Kraft Foods test kitchen and has been rated with 5 stars. I haven’t tried the recipe yet myself, but plan on getting all the ingredients for Saturday’s supper.

5 Tbsp. flour, divided

2 tsp.  smoked paprika, divided
