• 1 packet onion soup mix (or 2 tablespoons homemade onion soup mix)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) beef consommé, beef broth, or French onion soup

👩‍🍳 Instructions for How to Make Crock Pot Beef Tips

1. Prepare the slow cooker – Spray your crock pot with non-stick spray or use a liner to make cleanup easy.

2. Add the main ingredients – Place the beef tips in the crock pot and top with the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms.

3. Make the gravy – In a bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef consommé (or broth), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and mushrooms.

4. Slow cook – Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the mushrooms have cooked down into the sauce.

5. Thicken the gravy (optional) – About 30 minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry, stir it into the crock pot, and cook uncovered until the sauce thickens to your liking.
6. Serve – Spoon the beef tips and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles.

This recipe delivers a reliably comforting meal with minimal effort. With just a few pantry staples and your slow cooker, you’ll have a flavorful dinner the entire family will enjoy. The mushroom gravy ties the dish together, whether you serve it over fluffy mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or a creamy risotto.
