How to Make Homestyle Beef in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Run, run, run…that is what Momma would always say when we were running full throttle as a family when I was growing up. That is how I feel right about now. So, an easy recipe that is comfort food sounded perfect today. I am guessing this Crock Pot Homestyle Beef recipe will feel like a life-saver to you too when you feel overwhelmed, but want a heart main dish.
This recipe actually came about when I saw a comment from reader Michelle on our Homestyle Crock Pot Chicken saying she changed it up to use beef round steaks and beef broth. I loved the idea! So, I gave it a try, and now you have this amazing recipe!
One great thing about beef in a crock pot is that you can cook it low and slow all day. It ends up being fall apart tender even if it is a tough cut of meat. If you need to cook this on high, I would recommend going with a more tender cut of beef. Your results will not be tender if you use a tough cut of beef and cook it high and fast.
