BEEF AND MUSHROOMS

Crock-Pot Beef and Mushrooms

I really liked this, but no one else did.  But could have been because we had other good food to eat.  I think they didn't like the mushrooms.  Maybe next time don't do as much.  I think I ate all the leftovers.  I did use just the meat and put on top of chips for nachos.  Kids did like that (Scott was gone).



This recipe makes 2 freezer meals, 6 servings each. It's been around for a long time and originally called for red wine. I have used apple juice with good success. If you choose to cook with wine, during the cooking process the alcohol "cooks out" leaving a distinctive, delicious, flavor behind.
Ingredients
  • 4 pounds stew meat, cubed (I did pork since it was so much cheaper)
  • 4 (10.75-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 4 (4-ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, with liquid
  • 1 cup apple juice or red wine
  • 2 (1-ounce) packet dry onion soup mix
Instructions
Divide the cubed stew meat and add to 2 resealable gallon-sized freezer bags. Add 2 cans of mushroom soup, 2 cans of sliced mushrooms with liquid, 1/2 cup of juice or wine and 1 packet of dry onion soup mix to each bag. Zip closed. When ready to eat, remove a bag from freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours. Cook on HIGH for 6 hours or LOW for 10 hours. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Notes
If you live a low-carb lifestyle, try Crockpot Beef and Mushrooms over baked spaghetti squash.
