No-Peek Beef

A few months ago, I tried a recipe for No-Peek Chicken...and then I saw this recipe for No-Peek Beef last week, courtesy of Mommy's Kitchen blog.

It cooks low and slow...and makes your house smell divine. I used stew meat, and it was incredibly tender...and swimming in a swoon-worthy gravy. I will use low-sodium onion soup mix next time, as it almost bordered on too salty (the blandness of the rice made it less so).

We eat late, so this was a good weeknight meal for us, especially since it only takes a few minutes to put together. But I could see this as more of a weekend meal for most families.

I (obviously) served it over rice, but it would also be delicious over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
