Slow Cooker Thursday: Pepper Steak

One of my favorite blogs on the Internet, Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, hosts Slow Cooking Thursday each week. Now, I've got a bad memory and tend to forget things, but this week I remembered early enough to get a post in! Woohoo!

Fall is the perfect time to whip out your slow cooker and start using it regularly. Having a piping hot meal ready when you are just coming inside from the crisp air is one of life's little pleasures!

Don't know what to put in there? Check out Sandra's compilation of slow cooking recipes on Delicious!

Today I am going to share my recipe for crock pot pepper steak. It is a staple in our household. I've made it in the oven as well, but it just seems to be more tender and flavorful in the crockpot.

Ingredients:

2 lbs of top round (or any cut of beef -- the slow cookers makes them all taste great!) cut into strips
2 large green peppers, cut into strips
1 large onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 packages of brown gravy
2 cups of water

Put the first 4 ingredients into slow cooker. Mix the brown gravy into the water and pour over the top. (I promise it turns into a nice thick gravy)

Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Serve over rice. Also good over egg noodles.

Have a great week!
