Slow Cooker Beef Tips

The hotter it gets outside, the harder it is for me to want to turn on the oven and heat up the house even more. I do a lot of slow cooker meals in the summer for this reason. This meal is really simple, and pretty much fool-proof. All you need to do is prepare the rice, potatoes, or pasta (and any sides) when it's time to eat!

Ingredients:
1.5 - 2 lbs beef stew meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 cup water

Directions:

1. Add meat to slow cooker.
2. Mix cream of mushroom soup, gravy packet, dry onion soup mix, and water in a bowl until combined. Pour into slow cooker over meat.
3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. For best results, do not lift the lid at all during cook time.
4. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
