Sure, I like my recipes to be elegant, but when you’re a busy mom, fast and easy is even more important.

Fortunately, in this case, you get all three. Because thisEasy Crockpot Beef Tips With Gravy recipe is a super easy, hearty meal that practically makes itself—but also comes out impressive enough to serve to company. And all you need are a handful of ingredients to make it!

It takes about ten minutes to toss everything into the crock at the start of the day (except the cornstarch). If you’ve got the beef and onion already cut up, then it only takes three minutes. Then it just cooks all by itself for seven hours, and at dinnertime, all you have to do is stir in your cornstarch with a bit of water to thicken up the gravy.

Serve this hot over egg noodles or mashed potatoes, and you’ll have a meal your family and friends will be gushing over!

  1. Nice and easy. Thank you Corey. Have a great day and week.

    1. Do you add water to the soup

      1. The mushroom soup? No. You just open the can and put it in.

  2. I can’t wait to make this. My family is going to love it. Thanks

  3. This looks amazing! I want to cut this recipe to 1 lb. of meat, its just me and my husband, but I was wondering would there be too much liquid if I keep everything else the same? Some of the ingredients are harder to cut in half (like gravy packet and soup) or would you recommend just cutting the whole recipe in half to make sure the proportions are correct? Thanks!

    1. There will be a lot of liquid Heather, but I don’t think that should affect the meat all that much. But trust me, you will love this, and if you make the full recipe, you can just have dinner for the next day. It also freezes well too. I hope that helps

        A whisk would break it up better.

  4. If we are in a crunch and only have around 4 hours to cook do you think I could do this recipe on high? Would it make the meat tough in this recipe?

    1. Jennifer, I think that should be ok. I would brown the meat first and then put it in if you are only going to be cooking it for 4 hours on HIGH.

      1. Do you think it would be okay to not brown the meat first if cooking on high for four hours? I’m in a tome crunch myself a curious if it will ruin my meat

        1. I think that would work out ok Sammy. I have only made this recipe as written so, so I can’t say for sure.

        2. I have cooked it on 4 hours and the meat was perfect!

      2. Just made this tonight ! I did brown the meat a little, the center was still reddish… but used the crock pot on high for 4 hours…. it was so easy and really good! I served over rice but since it’s just me and my husband, also bought noodles for left overs one day next week !!

      3. 5 stars
        I have made this recipe on high for four hrs and it is delucious. I do take the time to season , dust with flour and brown the meat first! Great receipe!! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Thanks for the recipes! Got apple Pie Smoothie and Crockpot Beef tips! That just may be dinner tomorrow evening!!!

  6. Looks yum….all ready to give it a go. What size chunks do you recommend I cut the meat into? 🙂

    1. How many teaspoons/tablespoons is some minced garlic? Also, what can I use instead of a condensed cream of mushroom?

  7. 5 stars
    This is for dinner tonight! I was pressed for time so it’s been on high for 4 hours and I’ll be checking it a few times to make sure it’s done. My house smells AWESOME!

  8. Great recipe making for a 3rd time. I add in red wine but other than that i make it the same. Thanks

  9. Would it be possible to start with frozen stewing beef? If so, what would the cooking time be?
    Looks so good, thanks!
