Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix

- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushrooms, drained
- 1 can beef broth (use the cream of mushroom soup can to measure)
For Serving

Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Place the beef stew meat directly into the crockpot, making sure the pieces are evenly distributed.
- Add Seasonings and Soups: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix and the brown gravy mix evenly over the beef. Then add the cream of mushroom soup and the drained mushrooms on top.
- Add Beef Broth: Pour in one can of beef broth, measured with the cream of mushroom soup can, and gently stir all ingredients together until well combined, coating the beef fully.
- Cook the Beef: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook either on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef becomes tender and the flavors meld together.
- Prepare the Noodles: Approximately 15 minutes before the beef is done cooking, prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions, then drain them thoroughly.
- Serve: Dish the tender beef tips and their savory sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting meal!
Notes
- You can substitute fresh mushrooms if preferred; add them along with the canned ones for extra flavor.
- For a thicker sauce, mix an additional packet of brown gravy mix into the crockpot about an hour before serving.
- Make sure to measure the beef broth using the cream of mushroom soup can for accurate proportions.
- This recipe freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
