(6-quart slow cooker)
- 2 lbs (900g) stew beef or cubed chuck roast, trimmed
- 8 oz (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, halved or quartered
- 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix (like Lipton)
- ½ cup beef broth or water
💡 Pro Tips:
- Pat beef dry before adding to reduce excess moisture.
- Don’t stir after layering—this helps the gravy form evenly.
- Use whole mushrooms—they hold up better than sliced during long cooks.
