Crock Pot Beef Marsala

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"A Sandra Lee recipe that was featured in my son's school fundraising food co-op pamphlet. A nice twist using beef cubes instead of chicken. The sauce is a thin sauce; great served over egg noodles, rice or with mashed potatoes."

We really enjoyed this! Used 2 lbs of sirloin roast, less after I trimmed and browned. Followed another reviewers advice of using 1 can of golden mushroom and thought that just added another layer of bitterness to the already bitter marsala. Not bad at all, but may try just 2 cans regular CoM soup next time just to taste the difference. Had button mushroom, which I cooked down some with salt and pepper. Used 1.25 cups of Florio dry Marsala. The cook time concerned me and I wound up doing 4.5 hours on low and 1 hour on high. Turned out perfect! We had it over egg noodles and i think next time i might throw those into the pot and let them cook in the juice. It was recommended to reduce the marsala to cook off some alcohol, but I didn't see that until after I'd already started it. I will try that next time also.

This tasted great! I did throw in some onions and used one can of golden mushroom soup in place of one can of regular cream of mushroom, which I think gave it a nice flavor and made it not so much like a stroganoff. Thanks for the recipe!

I don't usually cook in a crockpot simply because DH doesn't care for foods cooked in them. He did however love this one. In fact, the whole family enjoyed this recipe served over egg noodles. A salad and rolls completed the meal.

What a great tasting beef entree! I might add in some onions when I make it again, and that will be soon!

What a easy and *very* tasty dinner. (The smell of the kitchen while this is cooking will drive you mad with hunger.) I used some rib eyes(cubed) that were on sale; soooo tender. Also, used some cremini mushrooms, sliced thickly. Thickened the sauce with cornstarch and sprinkle the top with chopped fresh parsley. VOILA, a dish fit for guests!
