Step 2:
Place the diced potatoes and carrots in the bottom of a 5–6 quart slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.

Step 3:
Add the cooked beef on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over everything, then pour in the water. Stir lightly to combine.

Tip: Don’t worry if it looks like there isn’t much liquid—the vegetables release moisture as they cook, and the potatoes help thicken everything into a gravy.

Step 4:
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

You’ll know it’s ready when the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened enough to coat a spoon.

Step 5:
Stir well before serving. If it’s thicker than you like, add a little water until it reaches your preferred consistency.
