Southern Beef Tips and Gravy is the ultimate “slow-cooker soul” meal. It transforms economical cuts of beef into buttery, fork-tender morsels bathed in a deep, savory brown gravy.
In the South, this is traditionally served over Southern Macaroni or a bed of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, but it’s just as good over white rice to soak up every drop of that “liquid gold.”
