Easy Peasy Beef Tips and Gravy

1 - 1.5lb pkg of stew meat
1 - family size can of cream of mushroom soup
1 - 1pkg of lipton onion soup mix

Mix all together, put in your crock pot and turn on low and cook for 6-8 hours.

Serve over rice or with noodles.

This is the best beef tips and gravy I have had in a long time.  My only issue with this recipe is that it made so little.  It was barely enough to feed my family of four.  The next time I will double the recipe.
