Ingredients:
2 pounds lean beef stew meat, or roast cut into cubes
1 (1 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
1 (1 ounce) envelope brown gravy mix
1 1/2 cups apple cider
Optional: Diced apples, baby carrots, potatoes


How to make this recipe:
Brown the beef in a skillet, seasoning with pepper. (Don't use salt, since the soup mixes contain enough). Place the beef, onion soup mix, brown gravy mix and apple cider in a slow cooker and cook on low for five to eight hours. Or place ingredients in a casserole and cook in a 325 degree oven for two and a half to three hours. Notes: Add the optional ingredients and serve with fresh bread. If you leave those out it can served over cooked noodles or rice.
