  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.

  5. I love these easy recipes where you can throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and it’s just “done” when you get home! And as a bonus you don’t have to buy expensive cuts to get a result that’s nice and tender.

    My 16 year old son makes this for often. The first time i made it he fell in love with it and asked for it again but also asked if he could make it from scratch the next time and now he does it frequently. I loved being in the LDCC but sadly had to unsubscribe due to financial reasons. Miss you ladies:)

    I made this with a “price dropped” chuck roast. I added the rest of a bottle of red wine that had been hovering around. It turned out amazing. This recipe was easy at it’s best.
