New Crockpot recipe

With church now from 1-4, I will be trying a variety of slow cooker recipes. We started the New Year on a GREAT foot. I made this recipe last night and it was a hit. I doubled the recipe, and it turned out great!!

Beef in Onion Gravy

1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 tablespoons onion soup mix
2 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

In a slow cooker, combine the cream of mushroom soup, soup mix, beef broth and tapioca; let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in the beef.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender. Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.

Sassy's notes: I cut the 1 inch cubes in 4 smaller pieces because I have to cut them up for the kids anyway and this way I think they were more tender. Also, I was scared by the quick-cooking tapioca. I bought the Minute Rice brand tapioca because I couldn't find anything labeled quick-cooking. I was scared because I could only find tapioca by the pudding. It worked just fine. DON'T buy the pudding, the tapioca is near the pudding. I served with Egg Noodles and a side salad. Once we got home from church, it took me 20 minutes (10 minutes of that cooking time for the Egg Noodles) to get dinner on the table. PREFECT!!!
