Crock Pot French Onion Beef Casserole Recipe
Ingredients for Crock Pot French Onion Beef Casserole
- 1 lb beef round steak, cut into 6 pieces
- 8 oz pkg white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 10.75 oz can French onion soup
- 6.25 oz herb stuffing mix
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
- water
How to Make Crock Pot French Onion Beef Casserole
- Place half of your beef in the bottom of your 6-quart crock pot (I used Cera, my 6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot) and top with half of your mushrooms and half of your onion, repeat layer
- Pour your soup on top of everything
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
- Put your stuffing mix in a bowl, top with your melted butter and 1/2 cup of liquid from your crock pot and toss (if you do not have enough liquid in your crock pot for 1/2 cup, add water to the liquid to make it a full 1/2 cup)
- Pour your stuffing across the top of your beef and cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes
- Spread your shredded cheese over the top of your stuffing and cover again and cook on high until your cheese is melted
Recipe Notes
- The recipe called for 1/2 cup of liquid to be taken from the crock pot after cooking, I had a hard time getting 1/2 cup. So if you have the same thing happen to you, feel free to use a little bit of water to make sure that your stuffing is nice and coated and becomes fluffy after cooking.
- This may seem like a weird combination of flavors, but I beg of you…give it a try! You’re gonna love it!

I was unable to find canned onion soup – would it be best to substitute with Beef Broth, or could I use an onion soup packet + water?
Oh no Adrea! I haven’t tried this with the substitutions you are asking about. If I did, I would probably use the onion soup packet and beef broth. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
I ended up using beef broth and 1/2 a packet of dry onion soup mix. Tasted great, Iโm sure it was close to the canned onion soup.
There was quite a bit of liquid after I removed the amount to add to the stuffing. I added some cornstarch to thicken it and make a gravy. Worked well!
Absolutely amazing flavor. However i did substitute a liquid French onion soup. The 3 cups of water from that gave the meat plenty of water to cook in and use for the stuffing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it David!
Is there anyway i can get this converted to a instant pot/ Pressure Cooker Recipe ? I want this for dinner but i don’t want to wait 8 hours !! lol ๐
Do you know how you would change the recipe for an instant pot?
Hi Tina-
We haven’t tried it in the Instant Pot yet, so we can’t really say until we try it. If you do, we’d love to know how it went!
did you ever figure out how to cook this in the pressure cooker/ instant pot ?
If I divide one pound of meat into 6 pieces, it’s still 1/6th of a pound and there is no way this is going to make 6 servings in my house. It sounds delicious but I’m thinking 3-4 servings at most, more like 2 at my house. ๐
Hi Pat!
I think the recipe said 4-6 servings because of all of the other things in the recipe. Even with Michael eating large portions, we had enough for two meals, but portions are always up for interpretation. Hope you guys enjoy this as much as we did!

Hi! What kind of herb stuffing mix are you talking about…the instant kind with poultry seasoning?
Hi Debby!
Yes, Stove Top (or the generic version) stuffing is what I am talking about. The kind the recipe said to use was the herb flavored. The kind I found was savory herb. I haven’t tried it with a different kind, but my guess is that you could use the chicken flavored if you can’t find the herb flavored. Enjoy!
