This was a big hit after yard work all day. The house smelled wonderful too! I used venison and minced onion with some oregano for the soup mix. I also made it a little more spicy than what was called for. I served it over some baby spinach and whole wheat shells. The dish had a nice tangy flavor and tender meat, and it's nice not to have to brown all the meat first, which takes a lot of the ease out of using the crock in the first place. I didn't use the sour cream. Will definitely make again and again.

My family liked this. I love it when minimal effort produces a tasty meal. Great for busy week-nights. Served over noodles. Thanks.

Very good. This one made the cut, both with my picky husband and my two year old. We had it over rice tonight. Very easy to do the prep work the night before.

This was very good. I am the Master of Disaster when it comes to the crockput, but even I couldn't mess this one up. Very flavorful and made enough for leftovers too. I posted a pic of my success!

This was really good and flavorful. Much better than the beef tips I've made in the past. Thanks for the posting!
