Ingredient Notes

• Beef Stew Meat: Choose well-marbled chunks for the most tender, flavorful result. You can also use sirloin tips or chuck roast cut into cubes.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup: This adds creaminess and depth to the gravy. Use condensed for the right consistency.
• Onion Soup Mix: The secret flavor booster- it brings that savory, slow-cooked taste without extra seasoning work.
• Beef Broth: Helps thin the soup and creates a rich, hearty sauce as it simmers.
• Mushrooms: Fresh sliced mushrooms soak up all the flavor from the gravy and add texture to every bite.

Before You Bake

Do I need to brown the beef first?
You don’t have to, but it adds extra flavor. If you have time, quickly sear the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If not, it’ll still turn out tender and flavorful.

Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes. Chuck roast, sirloin tips, or stew meat all work well. The key is choosing a cut with some marbling for that rich, fall-apart texture.

Do I need to stir during cooking?
No stirring needed. Once everything’s combined, just set it and let the slow cooker work its magic.

FAQ

Can I cook this on high instead of low?
Yes, cook on high for 4–5 hours or on low for about 8 hours. The low setting gives a slightly richer texture.

What should I serve it with?
Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or white rice soak up the gravy perfectly. A side of green beans or roasted carrots completes the meal.

Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Add carrots, onions, or peas during the last hour of cooking for a heartier dish.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Can I freeze it?
Yes, cool completely, then freeze in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
