Beef Tips and Rice

This has got to be the easiest recipe we've come up with. And, it's a hit for a bunch of meat-eaters.

Beef Tips and Rice.

2 lbs lean stew meat
4 packages McCormick brown gravy mix.
One ceramic slow-cooker. (Crock Pot is a registered trademark)

Mix McCormick gravy to package directions.
Put stew meat in the slow cooker.
Add the gravy.
Cover, heat on low for eight hours.

Seriously, that's it. I cut the meat into bite-size pieces, but if it's cut small enough, you don't even have to do that. Maybe add a little salt or pepper if you want to.  We put it on this morning before work, and this afternoon when I got home, the house smelled like wonderful.

The dog is waiting patiently for his ration.  He thinks he's going to get beef tips, and he's probably right.

In another hour, I'll put on a pot of rice.  We'll serve it with corn and brown-and-serve rolls on the side.
