In the winter months, I love soups and stews. It’s the perfect meal to warm you from the inside out. I especially like to use my slow cooker during this season anytime that I can. My family loves this hearty slow cooker beef tips recipe and I know yours will too!
I’ve learned a couple of tricks along the way to successfully execute this meal. To begin, slowly cook the onions covered over medium-low heat. This process can’t be rushed. It really helps develop the flavor to allow them to cook properly. Next, it’s important to finely mince the mushrooms to create a smooth and creamy sauce for the beef tips. I have included photos in the instructions below to assist you along the way.
Serving the dish is an important element in the presentation of the meal. I purchased a set of wide-rimmed soup bowls for serving soup, pasta, and stew. I found this set on Amazon. They are perfect for serving the right portion. The bowls are also dishwasher safe which is definitely a plus for easy clean-up.
