beef stew
Chili... Yummy!
If you like beef make beef tips.
1 1/2 lbs beef tips
1 family size can of cream of mushroom
milk (half of the soup can)
1 package of sliced mushrooms
1 package of Lipton's Beefy Onion mix
Stir it all together. Cook while you are at work on low.
Serve with brown rice or egg noodles.
Green beans are my favorite side with this meal
YUMMY!
soups and stews are great
some casseroles work well
fruit cobblers
hot dips for parties
I use one all the time and do not put water in with the meat and veggies. After it cooks put stuff in another container and pour the grease out. If you put water in the grease gets on every thing.
Pot roast comes out DELISH in the Crockpot! Add seasonings, potatoes and carrots, and enough water to cover the roast about halfway up, some beef boulion, and leave it on low for 8 hours. It will be so tender it will fall apart.
