Slow Cooker Beef Tips & Gravy
Slow Cooker Beef Tips & Gravy is a recipe that seems as though you’ve been slaving away at the stove all day long when in reality it was cooking away in your slow cooker. This is one EASY recipe and when I mean easy I’m not pulling your chain.
The beef tips are incredibly tender and the gravy just cries out to be placed upon a bed of mashed spuds. 4 simple ingredients that make for one delicious meal in a snap!
This is a wonderfully comforting meal that doesn’t need much explanation. My husband asked me why I don’t make it more often, and to be honest I’m not sure why I don’t.
Definitely adding this simply comforting meal to our menu rotation. And the leftovers are simply great, you won’t be disappointed reheating this dish the next day for lunch.

This looks really delicious with creamy mashed potatoes! Thanks for linking to Simple Supper Tuesday

Do you add all this together and then freeze? Or do as the recipe says? Thanks for your time! Just a little confused!!
I had the same question! 🙂
Yep, mix together and freeze
This looks really yummy, and smells really yummy since it is cooking in my crockpot! Will be digging into it in about 10 minutes! Can’t wait to see how it taste! I am serving it with rice, carrots, and biscuits!
This is AWESOME!! Definitely a new family favorite at our house! I also love the fact that it’s super easy! I can’t wait to make up a bunch of this and freeze it!!
Love these kind of meals and your recipe looks delicious ! Thank you for sharing at our All My Bloggy Friends Party !
This was really easy and yummy! Thanks!
I’m making a bunch of meals from your site today. Happy so far with how fast it is going. Just one suggestion: Could you put BOTH the ‘make now instructions’ and the ‘make ahead and freeze’ instructions with each recipe?
Thanks for the suggestion, we are in the process of Part II of our Crockpot/Freezer cooking post & are breaking the directions down both ways. Enjoy 🙂
The sauce will be very thin but can easily be thickened using corn starch about 20 minutes before done cooking (I used about 3 tablespoons…mix well with water before adding to crockpot) if you want more of a gravy consistency. This was so GOOD!!! A new family favorite even for my SUPER PICKY daughter!! 🙂
You can add about 1/4 Cup of quick cooking tapioca to the crock pot the same time as you dump all your other ingredients in to make a thicker sauce. I wouldn’t add it to the freezer bag, but this trick works to effortlessly thicken up sauces in any juicy crock pot recipe.
how many servings is this recipe?
4-5 servings
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different page and thought I might as
well check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you.
Look forward to looking over your web page again.
Welcome! I hope you can find some recipes you like!
This one was a hit at our house.
I like the flavor searing the meat adds. Do you know if doing this and freezing the meal will make the meat tougher?
Do I cook in crockpot first then freeze or freeze before cooking? A bit confused
Angel, We traditionally freeze the ingredients prior to slow cooking for our freezer meals. Can’t see any reason why you cannot freeze after slow cooking though. Let us know how it turns out.
I like to have many of my meats browned to add more flavor. I tend to brown up all my ground beef and beef tips then portion out into bags for the freezer. I often cook the meat with onions, garlic or other seasonings. While I am doing that, I add broth to my crock, add in thighs or breasts and cook away. I then shred that chicken and have it ready for meals when needed. I also pre-season taco meat (be it beef or chicken) as well as meats for chilis. I plan to try some of your methods very soon! Thanks for the great recipes and wonderful way to save time and money!
Hi! I am making your crockpot beef tips and gravy today and am excited to try it.
My question though, is that I am getting a bit of a late start with it and was wondering if I could cook it on high and, if so, how long would I cook it on high?
Thank you so much and for all of your wonderful recipes!
Hi Donna, Wish I had seen your question earlier in the day. I’ve never prepared on high but would guess 4 hours would probably do it since the pieces of meat are rather small. Do hope you enjoy!
Do you add the blood/liquid that comes with the stew meat or drain that out before adding meat?
I prefer no – but if you like it I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt!
This crock pot recipe sounds so good and looks so delicious that I will try it as soon as I buy some of the ingredients. Thank you for sharing with us.
