Beef Tips and Gravy Slow Cooker

I certaìnly serve my share of salads and stìr-frys, but sometìmes nothìng but a hearty beef dìnner wìll do. In my mom’s day, that was a roast ìn the oven. But I prefer slow cooker beef tìps. They cook ìn theìr own gravy. Not only ìs the meat more flavorful and tender, but there’s no separate step at the end—just serve the beef tìps and gravy dìrectly from the crock pot, so I can enjoy my famìly or guests rìght up to servìng tìme. And then I can enjoy how much they love thìs dìsh.
