 Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef stew meat (or beef tips)

• 2 large russet potatoes, cut into large chunks

• 2 (10½ oz) cans condensed golden mushroom soup

• 1 (1 oz) packet brown gravy mix

 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Scrub the russet potatoes and cut them into large 1½–2 inch chunks.

Tip: Leave the skins on for a rustic look and extra texture. Larger pieces help prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy during slow cooking.

Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place the potato chunks evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange the beef tips on top so they can slowly braise in the flavorful sauce.

Step 3: Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed golden mushroom soup and the brown gravy mix until smooth. No water is needed.

Note: The mixture will seem thick at first, but moisture from the beef and potatoes will create a rich, silky gravy as it cooks.

Step 4: Combine and Coat
Pour the sauce evenly over the beef and potatoes, making sure everything is well covered.

Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook:

• LOW: 7–8 hours

• HIGH: 4–5 hours

Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep heat and moisture inside for tender results.

Step 6: Serve
Once the beef is fork-tender, gently stir to coat everything in the gravy. Serve hot and enjoy!
