Creamy Slow Cooker Beef

Instructions

1. Layer the Beef: Place the raw beef chunks in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Whisk the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, and water/broth until smooth.

3. The Pour: Pour the mixture directly over the raw beef chunks.

4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened into a rich gravy.

5. Finish: Stir well before serving to ensure the meat is fully coated in the creamy sauce.

Pro-Tips for the Best Beef

• No Browning Needed: While you can sear the beef first for extra color, the slow cooker does an incredible job of developing deep flavor without that extra step.

• Veggie Add-ins: Feel free to toss in sliced fresh mushrooms or onions at the beginning for added texture and earthiness.

• Creamier Finish: For an even richer “hit,” stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream right before serving.

What to Serve it Over

• Egg Noodles: The classic choice for “beef tips.”

• Mashed Potatoes: Perfect for soaking up every drop of that creamy gravy.

• White Rice: A simple, clean base that lets the savory sauce shine.
