Beef Tips in the Crock Pot

That's just a big pile of comfort food right there!  The great thing is, the beef tips were prepared in the crock-pot.  Just throw everything in and forget about it!  My favorite way to prepare dinner ;-)  The other great thing is they were flavorful, tender, and were approved by 2 out 3 picky children.  (and we all know Mr. Three's vote doesn't count since he will only eat about 4 things in the universe.)

Speaking of 4 things, that's all the ingredients you need to make this!

(Crock Pot) Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce 

recipe source: LaaLoosh 

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean chuck – cut in 1-2 inch pieces (I used beef stew meat in pic)
1 can 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. onion soup mix
1 can Diet Sprite or 7up *or Sierra Mist

*You could also add any veggies you want. 

Put meat in crock pot. Pour soup & onion soup mix over meat. Add Diet Sprite/7up/Sierra Mist. Cook in crock pot all day on low (or high for at least 4 hours). Turn off and let sit for 30 minutes before serving. {If you want thicker gravy, you could remove meat, place gravy in a skillet with a little cornstarch and heat until thickened. I didn't do this.)

I served the beef tips with mashed potatoes (instant...they were not good!) and cornbread...which was delish, and some not-pictured green beans, canned (I was in a hurry that night!).
