Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones — and this slow cooker beef dish proves it. With just raw cubed beef and three basic ingredients, you’ll have a meal so tender and flavorful, it tastes like it took hours of effort (but your slow cooker does all the work!).
Ingredients
- 2 lbs raw beef, cut into cubes
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup beef broth
Instructions
- Place the raw cubed beef directly into your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
- Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and the beef broth.
- Stir gently to coat the beef in the mixture.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours), until the beef is fork-tender.
Serving Ideas
- Spoon it over mashed potatoes for a rich, hearty dinner.
- Serve with egg noodles or rice to soak up the creamy gravy.
- Pair with roasted veggies or a simple salad for a balanced meal.
Why It Works
The combination of onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup creates a savory gravy while the beef broth adds depth. The slow cooker tenderizes the meat perfectly, giving you a melt-in-your-mouth dish with almost no effort.
