Introduction

Easy slow cooker meal for your busiest nights. Tastes great over brown rice (not included in calorie count). Easy slow cooker meal for your busiest nights. Tastes great over brown rice (not included in calorie count).

Minutes to Prepare: 15

Minutes to Cook: 240

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 pound lean beef stew meat

1 can low-fat cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup water

1 packet dry onion soup mix

8 oz fresh mushrooms (whole or sliced, your preference)

Directions

Brown meat in skillet over med-high heat. You can skip this step to save time and the recipe will still be great. I just think it gives the meat more flavor and helps it hold together better. Place meat in 4 quart crock pot. Place mushrooms on top of beef. Combine soup, water and soup mix and pour over mushrooms and beef. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

Tastes great over brown rice or hot cooked noodles (neither are included in calorie count).

Just made this for dinner tonight, when making it I realized that I didn't have onion soup mix, so I chopped up an onion, threw in some sherry (1/4c.) some worchestershire (few teaspoons) and some beef boullion concentrate. and its turned out excellently! Just had to share! Thanks!!

I made this last night and my entire family liked it, even my husband that doesn't like anything healthy. My only complaint is that it was quite salty. The next time ai make it I'll use low sodium soup. Maybe that will make it a little less salty. - 2/24/09

Makes 8+ servings after adding a pck (serves 8) of cooked whole wheat noodles. It's in my cookbook AND on my nutrition tracker. Lots of ways to dress this up!! THANKS!! - 3/2/09

Made today..was sooo good. Used others suggestions in comments and put only .5 onion soup mix (with roasted garlic), added 1 cup celery, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup peas, and 4 small potatoes cut up. All together was only 409 calories for 4 portions, and it actually made at least 5 BIG portions, so less. - 11/17/10

Knowing how salty Lipton's Onion Soup Mix is, I used low sodium cream of mushroom soup, and it was still wicked salty. I enjoyed the beef and mushrooms though. If I make again, I'll add potato since that should absorb the sodium better. - 10/28/09

This came out pretty good for me. The meat was quite dry which is really counter intuitive. Maybe it's just the cut I used. I also tried to put in fresh ingredients instead of onion soup powder. I don't recommend substituting A1 for worchestershire! - 3/4/09
