Instructions
Add the beef stew meat to the slow cooker
Sprinkle over the gravy mix and seasonings. Add the tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
Add the shallots and mushrooms, pour over the water. Stir together, try to get the tomato paste and Dijon mustard to blend into the gravy.

When the cooking time is up, stir in the sour cream and serve!

Additional sour cream can be added but will dilute the flavor of the sauce, so don't overdo.
