Slow Cooker Beef Tips Dinner
O.K., I guess it isn’t a secret. People have been using crock pots for years to slowly cook and tenderize tougher cuts of meat. I use it for the sheer convenience of being able to put something together before I go to work so that dinner is waiting for us when we all return home from our day’s adventures. Recently while I was at the grocery store I spotted a package of stewing meat on sale. I immediately knew that it was destined to find a home in my crock pot and become Slow Cooker Beef Tips.
As you know, we have a bunch of boys. Between them and work, there really isn’t a whole lot of time left in the day. That is why it is important for me to use my time wisely and plan our meals ahead. To take this a step further, when using my crock pot, I try to get everything ready the night before so that in the morning I can just dump all my ingredients in, turn on the crock pot and get on with my day. For these Slow Cooker Beef Tips, I actually browned my stewing meat with some onions and garlic in a pan on the stove the night before. Not only did I get a head start on the dish, but it also added a whole another depth of flavor because I browned my meat. Did I mention that there may or may not have been some red wine used to de-glaze the pan? Alright, who are we kidding? Of course there was red wine used.
The next morning this meal went together in a snap. I took out the meat from the refrigerator, added a few cans of cream of mushroom soup, some beef broth and turned on the crock pot to low. Upon my return, the house smelled heavenly. All I needed to do was to stir in a little sour cream and boil some egg noodles. Within fifteen minutes we were all sitting down enjoying this delicious meal. Do your family a favor and make these Slow Cooker Beef Tips. They will thank you for it. Enjoy. -Scott
