Creamy Crockpot Beef Tips & Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 2 cups sliced mushrooms (white or cremini)

• 1 small onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

• 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)

• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 cup sour cream (add at the end)

• 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Optional for serving:

• Mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles

• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prep the crockpot:
   Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray.

2. Layer ingredients:
   Place the beef tips, mushrooms, onions, and garlic into the crockpot.

3. Mix sauce:
   In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), thyme, and pepper. Pour over the beef mixture.

4. Cook:

   • Low for 7–8 hours

   • High for 4–5 hours
     Until beef is tender and flavors have melded.

5. Thicken (optional):
   If you want a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch and water together, then stir it into the crockpot 30 minutes before serving. Cook on High until thickened.

6. Make it creamy:
   Stir in the sour cream just before serving for a rich, creamy finish. Do not add it earlier—it may curdle.

7. Serve:
   Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
