Can I make this ahead of time. Like brown the meat and get all the other ingredients together and put in the crockpot and then take it out in the morning and turn on!
I haven’t tried that before with this recipe but it should work. Let me know how it turns out!
My 6th time making this dish. I just love it. Thank you so much.
It was very easy recipe to make and the beef was very tender however we all thought it was bland.
Does anyone know what the cook setting/times would be if this was done in an instapot instead of a traditional slow cooker?
If I don’t have cornstarch is there any substitution I can use? like flour maybe?
Yes, flour would be a great substitution.
This is my 3rd time making this recipe. IT IS EXCELLENT, and my friends enjoy it. I will keep making it just for me and rare special occasions. Thank you so much.
Anxious to try this, but because we have to watch daily carbohydrate count I am going to use xanthum gum to thicken instead of cornstarch. Looks so good !!
I made this on Sunday. I had to use 4 lbs. of beef stew so I added a can of Cream of Celery soup and 2 packs of brown gravy. Everyone loved it! This recipe is a keeper.
This recipe was so good thank you. I added poblano peppers, added a little cayenne, thyme, and added more cornstarch. Came out perfect.
Can l use beefy onion soup mix since I don’t have the onion soup mix?
What is green stuff in the picture?
It is parsley sprinkled on top of the beef tips.
This is absolutely delicious, it is a family favorite in our home and super easy to make! Just a note, you left out when to add in the worcestershire sauce, I assumed it went in with everything else 😉 I absolutely love following you on instagram, I have tried several of your recipes, are all always a hit with our family. Thank you for sharing your deliciousness with us!!
