Crockpot Beef Tips & Rice

Another recipe from my favorite crockpot website. I made this one for dinner and it was a huge hit. The meat was super tender. It is super easy to make. Good and easy, it doesn't get much better than that!

2 Packages of Stew Meat
2 Family Size Cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 Packages Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix

Add all together and place in a crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice. Yum!

Ovrenight Crockpot Oatmeal

I found this recipe on my favorite crockpot site. We had this for breakfast this morning. It looked a little runny. However, I gave it a good stir in the crockpot. Then once I dished it up in individual dishes, and let it sit for a few minutes to cool off, I think it sat up quite nicely. This would be super easy to make on those mornings where everyone is going a million different directions and you want something a little more filling than cold cereal.

1 Cup Regular Oats
4 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Half and Half or Milk
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Combine in a crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. Serve with cinnamon sugar. I doubled this recipe for our family of six.

Additional Ideas
You could add a fresh chopped apple before cooking.
You could add 1 cup raisins or dry fruit before cooking.
