Kay's Beef Tips/ Stroganoff in the Crockpot

Working nearly 34 years as a teacher, most of which I was a cheerleading coach, left little time for cooking, so I have learned to cook many things in my crockpot.  Here is a quick and easy way to turn an economical cut of meat into a delicious and hearty dinner. The recipe can be prepared without the sour cream for just beef tips in gravy.  Add the sour cream to make stroganoff.






3 pounds of cubed sirloin or beef stew meat ( I look for the packages with the large pieces of meat.  They will cook down)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup.
1 jar or can of sliced or tiny button mushrooms, drained
3 packages of reduced sodium brown gravy mix ( I use McCormick)
1 1/2 c beef broth or  1 cup beef broth and 1/2 red wine
1 onion, diced
2 bay leaves
2 T Worcestershire sauce or A-1 steak sauce
1 T garlic power
1/2 T black pepper
1 T tablespoon creole mustard
1 small container of sour cream (if making stroganoff)

Spray crock pot with cooking spray.  Season meat with garlic powder and black pepper.  I don't use salt because the gravy mixes and soup will provide salt.  Place meat in crock pot and top with diced onion, bay leaves,  and mushrooms. In small bowl, mix soup, dry gravy mixes, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beef broth/red wine.  Pour on top of meat and vegetables.  Cook on low for 6-7 hours.  In the last hour of cooking, stir well and add sour cream to make stroganoff.  Serve on top a bed of rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
