Slow Cooker Beef Tips And Rice
I love making this on Sundays - everyone in my family scarfs it down
When we want a hearty and filling recipe, we go for beef tips with brown rice and gravy. All it takes is a slow cooker set on high and it’s ready in three to four hours – we hardly have to do anything! The slow-cooking process enhances the flavor of less expensive cuts of meat so that they become tender and tasty, and because of that, this dish has quickly become a family favorite. If you’re looking for a hot meal that everyone will love (and that you can enjoy as leftovers later in the week), this is the dish for you!
