Slow-Cooker Beef Tips and Noodles

Tee Lee's Note:

I don't normally like recipes with cream of ___ soup in them, but this one I came up with is delicious! Definitely easy comfort food! *** Update: I tried this with 1/4 cup Burgundy wine and 1/2 cup beef broth and it was delicious! For a change, try a mixture of wine and broth.

Very easy and tasty! I was in a hurry so I used my pressure cooker. I browned the meat first in oil with the onion, then added the rest of the ingredients. I had brought the mixture to a boil then pressured cooked it for 20 minutes. My youngest said it was the best beef tips I'd made and asked to have them at least once a week. That comment speaks for itself! Thanks!!!

Great beef tips! I added garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, sugar , a bay leaf, and chopped carrots.I used regular cream of mushroom soup. I have tried alot of beef tip recipes and this was one of the tastiest. I used 1/2 cup Burgundy wine and didn't use the beef broth-there was plenty of liquid. This recipe really needs something to thicken up the sauce , so I added 3 tablespoons of Minute tapioca the last hour of cooking, like so many other reviewers and it worked perfectly. I served over egg noodles and garnished with fresh minced parsley and served steamed broccoli and crusty sourdough rolls on the side. Wonderful meal and I'll make again-thanks!

We enjoyed this. Added 3 TBS of quick cook tapioca to thicken and it worked perfect. Will make again.
