Crock Pot Beef Tips

My family loved this! Its kind of like beef stroganoff but its different and really delicious.  Make sure you give the meat a good 8-10 hours to get really soft. We changed it up so here is how we did it.

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds beef sirloin tips (stew meat)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 can (10.5 ounce size) condensed beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
1/4 cup white cooking wine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
egg noodles

Directions:

Combine 1/2 cup flour with the salt and pepper and toss with beef cubes to coat thoroughly. Place in crock-pot. Add green onions.

Combine with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, cooking wine, and ketchup. Pour over beef and onions; stir well. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 8 to 12 hours. One hour before serving if you want to thicken it up pull about 1/3 cup juice from the crock-pot and mix with 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Mix well and add back into crock pot. Simmer until noodles are ready. Serve over well drained egg noodles.

Tater Tot Casserole

I got this recipe from Pam. This makes the kiddos happy and its yummy for Mom and Dad too. The best part is that if you keep the a spare bag of tots in the freezer its a great meal when you don't know what else to make. I like to make it early in the day and leave in the fridge until about an hour before we are ready to eat.

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1/2 lg onion diced in processor

1 pkg or 1/4 c taco seasoning
2 cans of cream of chicken

1 can evaporated milk

1 bag frozen tater tots

Cheese

Brown meat, onion, and taco seasoning. Combine cream of chicken and evaporated milk and stir until smooth. Layer tots in a 9 x 13 pan, cover with meat, a layer of cheese, and then pour sauce over the top. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Teriyaki Meatballs

I don't remember where I got this recipe but we really like it!

Meatballs:
1- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 dry oatmeal
2 eggs beaten
2/3 c diced onion
1/2 c milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

I put this all in my kitchen aid and let it mix it so I don't have to use my hands. Place a large skillet on the stove and turn it on med-high. Make meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place them in the saucepan and brown them really good on the outside. I do it until they are even starting to look a little burnt. When they are browned place them in a 9 x 13 pan and do this until all the meatballs are browned.

Sauce:
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 c BBQ sauce (for this recipe I prefer a sweeter BBQ sauce)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Stir up sauce and it should be slightly thick. Pour over browned meatballs and gently turn meatballs over to coat them.

Bake in oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through. Serve over rice.

Macho Nachos

steak
Worcestershire sauce
chips
cheese, grated
green onions, diced
tomatoes, diced
sour cream
guacamole

In a small saucepan place your steak, cut into bite sized pieces and about 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle with some garlic salt. Cook the steak slowly over low heat. If you heat it to quickly is will get tough. When steak is just done, drain off any remaining liquids.

On a cookie sheet spread out chips and load with grated cheese, green onions, tomatoes, and steak. Broil until cheese is all melted and serve with guacamole and sour cream!
