Slow Cooker Beef Tips & Gravy - SidetrackedSarah.com

The other day, I had put the ingredients for this recipe into the slow cooker.  As you’ll see below, it called for 2.5 pounds of beef stew meat.  “Hopefully 2.5 pounds will feed our ever growing family”, I think to myself.  As we get closer to supper time, I’m starting to worry as I look into the slow cooker to see just how much food is in it.  Then, my husband gets home from work and has a co-worker  with him.  Before I know it, he is offering to let him stay for dinner.  While I always desire to be hospitable, my house was a disaster and I was secretly worried that we wouldn’t have enough food for everyone.  I didn’t know it at the time, but the bathroom looked like it had snowed in there!  Some little princess had a runny nose and decorated the whole place with toilet paper!  (talk about embarrassing!)

Anyway, back to the story….. My daughter and I were in the midst of preparing mashed potatoes, when I realized the  mouths being fed had increased.  We had been making them from scratch, on the stovetop, but I decided it was time to bust out the instant mashed potatoes so that we could increase the amount of food available to serve, just in case. It came time to serve the food.  I decided large servings of mashed potatoes were in the works hopefully to disguise the lack of meat that they’d be getting on their plates.  I served the guest of honor first and figured we’d all just take a little less.  I began to serve all of the plates and realized we had more than enough food to go around!  While there was no leftovers, the 9 of us had plenty of delicious beef tips.  However, I was a bit worried they weren’t tasty.  I didn’t hear a word about the taste of the food until my husband’s plate was clean.  I was thinking, “oh great, he’s just being nice and finishing his plate”, but instead, do you know what he said?

“This recipe should be added to the Sidetracked Sarah Favorites section!”

Well, I don’t really have a favorites section (yet anyway), but it was great to hear how much he loved it.  I think he would’ve eaten 3 plates of slow cooker beef tips and gravy had I let him!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
