1 pound lean beef stew meat
1 can low-fat cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup water1 packet dry onion soup mix
8 oz fresh mushrooms (whole or sliced, your preference)
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.
For Freezing:
Option 1: Prepare as directed. Bag finished meal into gallon sized Ziploc freezer bag. Freeze. When ready to eat, Thaw overnight. Reheat on stove and serve with rice or hot noodles.
Option 2: Bag the uncooked meat and all over ingredients into a bag and freeze. After thawed, cook as directed above in crockpot.
