Amish Smothered Beef Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient. My aunt brought this to our family reunion, and everyone wanted the recipe. The gravy is super yummy and it uses just 3 ingredients!
This easy slow cooker Amish smothered beef is a hit at family gatherings. My aunt made it once, and folks grabbed seconds and asked for the recipe on a napkin. The secret is the tasty onion gravy that makes itself as the meat cooks slow. With only three easy items and no watching, it’s great for quick dinners or comfy family meals.
Tender beef in rich onion gravy—ready with zero hassle! Perfect over mashed potatoes or noodles. Kids love it on rolls. Just dump, cook low, and serve. Old-school flavor in hours.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
3 to 3½ pounds beef chuck roast, cut into thick 1½-inch slices
-
2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of onion soup
-
1 (1-ounce) packet dry onion soup mix
Amish Smothered Beef: Directions
-
Put beef slices in a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker. Lay them flat, overlapping a little if needed.
-
In a bowl, mix cream of onion soup and dry onion soup mix until smooth and thick.
-
Pour mix over beef. Spread with a spoon so all meat gets covered—no dry bits!
-
Cover and cook on LOW 8-9 hours or HIGH 4-5 hours, until beef shreds easy with a fork. Don’t peek!
-
Stir beef in gravy to coat every piece. Gravy turns shiny with soft onions.
-
Taste gravy; add tiny bit of salt or pepper if you want (it’s already tasty).
-
Serve hot with lots of gravy. Shred some beef in cooker for pulled style if you like.
