  1. Delicious!!!! The spices were a little to intense for me shockingly, so I may do less salt next time?

    It was such an easy and yummy dinner. Perfect on anything!

  2. Delicious! Cut up a sirloin roast, browned the chunks in a skillet, put in crockpot. Put onion and dice mushrooms in the pan with a little garlic and red wine to deglaze and added a pkg of beefy onion soup mix, can of cream of mushroom soup, can of hot water. Mixed and cooked a couple min. Poured it on meat. Cooked on low 6hrs. Served with mashed potatoes.

  3. Can you brown the meat before placing in a crockpot? I’ve seen some recipes do that first but wasn’t exactly sure why.

    Thanks!

  4. 5 stars
    Yummy! Made a cheap piece of meat very tender and flavorful. Easy too! Will be making this way again.
