Crockpot Magic Best Dinner EVER!

By: Author Chef Ruthie

Today’s Crockpot Magic is the Best Dinner EVER with slow cooker shredded beef, mashed potatoes, and corn! Back in 2011 when CWR first began my son, Jake, named this recipe. Somehow it stuck over all these years–it’s a fun vintage post. It’s also a simple and hearty slow cooker beef recipe. 
 
Best Dinner EVER! (according to Jake)

Why we love Crockpot Magic Best Dinner EVER

While we were eating this yummy little Crock-pot dish, I asked my family to think of a name for it…. they came back with all kinds of crazy ideas such as Crock-pot Surprise!
 
I, personally, think that sounded a little scary so I vetoed it and all the others things that came out of their mouths.
 
Here I am at square one again–trying to think of a name for this fabulous dinner. It’s kinda like a beef gravy and over mashed potatoes, my son said, “that was the best dinner evvver!!”  Maybe that should be the name… Best Dinner EVER!! ha, ha 🙂

Ingredients in Crockpot Magic Best Dinner EVER

• cream of mushroom soup
• onion soup mix
• petite sirloin

 

Step by Step for Crockpot Magic Best Dinner EVER

Mix soup, water, onion soup mix in Crock-pot
Brown meat and add to Crock-pot
Cook on low 6 hrs, shred with 2 forks

I leave the skins on my mashed potatoes… not because I’m a lazy little cook but because there are good nutrients in the skins! I also think they look kinda cool that way. Gram would’ve laughed to see them like that though!

I thought everyone probably knows how to make mashed potatoes but then this is a cooking blog so I figured I’d post it anyhow….

Gram use to put a pint of cream and a cube of butter in her mashed potatoes… no wonder they tasted amazing! But mine are just as good and a lot healthier 🙂

Mash potatoes with a hand mixer in the sink!! No messy clean up 🙂
Mashed potatoes with skins on…. YUM!!
