Butter Beef

 This dish is so easy and so delicious!  It smells so good as it cooks all day. The meat just melts in your mouth.  It takes about one minute to put together.  We love it over mashed potatoes, but I'm sure it would be good over noodles or rice as well.

Butter Beef

2-3 lbs. stew beef (I buy a big package at Costco, divide it in two and label and freeze both halves in gallon ziplock bags.  I put one bag of the meat, frozen, into the slow cooker)

1 package dry onion soup mix

1 onion, chopped

1 box mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1/2 cup butter (one stick)

Put the frozen beef in the slow cooker. Add the onion. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the meat and onion.  Put a stick of butter on top and cover.  Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8.  Add the mushroom in the last hour or two.  Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
