Lindsay, how do you make beef tips in the crockpot? What's your recipe? It sounds lovely, and I have a whole, whole lot of roasts in the deep freezer right now...

[becoming]

Welcome, Annie! Here's the recipe I use for crockpot beef tips:

1 lb. beef tips/stew meat
2 cans beef broth
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup red wine
2 tsp minced garlic
pepper

Put all ingredients EXCEPT cream of mushroom soup in crockpot. Cook on high 4-5 hours, or low 6-7 hours. If cooking on low, turn to high at this point and add cream of mushroom soup. Allow to cook until bubbly, about another hour. Turn down to low. Serve with rice, couscous, or noodles.
