Ingredients
-
2½ to 3 pounds beef stew meat or cheap chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
-
2 (0.87- to 1-ounce) packets brown gravy mix (dry powder, any brand)
Pantry Beef Tips Slow Cooker: Directions
-
Put the beef pieces in the bottom of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker. Spread them out flat. Skip browning—the slow cook and gravy make it tasty and brown.
-
In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and gravy powder. Stir until smooth, no lumps. It stays thick for great gravy.
-
Pour the mix over the beef. Scrape the bowl clean with a spoon. Stir lightly so all meat gets covered.
-
Put the lid on. Cook it on LOW heat for 7 to 8 hrs, or HIGH flame for 4 to 5 hrs. Beef gets super soft and fork-tender. Don’t peek much to keep heat in.
-
Stir well when done. Gravy should be thick and shiny on the beef. For thicker gravy, cook on HIGH lid-off 15 to 20 minutes more, stirring now and then.
-
Taste gravy. Add salt or pepper only if you want—gravy mix has plenty. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice with lots of gravy. Pair with veggies like green beans or carrots, and bread to soak it up!
