Ingredients

  • 2 pounds stew meat 1" to 1 1/2" cubes
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 small can cream of mushroom soup
  • 8 - 12 ounces mushrooms quartered

Instructions

  • Add a liner to crock pot or grease crock well.  
  • Mix all ingredients well and spread mixture in an even layer in the crock pot.
    2 pounds stew meat, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 packet onion soup mix, 1 small can cream of mushroom soup, 8 - 12 ounces mushrooms
  • Cook on low for 10 to 13 hours.  Serve over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Don't decrease the cooking time - at least 10 hours on low is needed to make a tender meal
  • White mushrooms or baby bella both work fine and taste similar in this recipe
  • Larger halves or quarters of fresh mushrooms work better since this recipe cooks for so long
  • Ensure meat is defrosted before cooking or cook time will need to be increased
  • All cooking appliances and conditions are different, so you should test these times and guidelines first in your own appliance to determine what adjustments may be needed!
  • Cranberry juice makes a great substitute for red wine
