My kids grew up on this recipe. When my husband was home for this dinner, I substituted Campbell’s tomato soup and peeled the potatoes. So good. Thanks for the memories.
This is really good! Dimple & cheap & yummy. Next time i think i will add another Can of soup or something extra. My dish didn’t come out as wet looking & creamy as your pictures.
I made this two days ago. Delicious!
Just turned the crock pot on filled with above recipe. Can’t wait to spoon cooked content in a bowl and enjoy. I did add some thyme and rosemary so we’ll see.
Watching my sodium, I would just use cream cheese or sour cream instead of the soup.
Campbell’s makes a creamy beefy mushroom soup that adds an amazing flavor to beef dishes; that’s what I’m going to try! This looks scrumptious!
that sounds really good. I’ll have to look for that.
made this last week. it has now become my favorite slow cooker meal. delicious!
Recipe looks good. I may try this next week and also tell my daughter about the dish.
I really cannot wait to try this! It looks amazing!
Very perfect post! And that old Rival looks like the one I just replaced! Great job on the stop motion video, too.
