The following is the absolute fastest slow-cooker recipe I’ve ever made in 8 easy steps.
1. Brown stew meat, add to crock pot
2. Add 2 cans condensed cream soup
3. Add 1 cup sour cream
4. Add one package dried soup mix
5. 1/2 cup water
6. Stir all together and taste
7. Send gag-reflex through the roof
8. Empty everything into strainer to rescue the meat for another meal.
Disclaimer: For all of you who know me by now, I’m as frugal as they come. I am not a wasteful person. In our nearly 30 years of marriage, I have never made anything so bad that I knew we couldn’t at least eat it and move on. The meat and sour cream were fresh, so I know it wasn’t anything spoiled. Seriously, it was that bad! (Ok, I’ll admit to a little drama on #7.)
Oh well, on to another recipe! Ever have one of those meals?
Recently edited: I think I’ve figured out that the dried soup mix may have been rancid.
It’s All Leftovers Tonight Good!

It doesn't sound that bad - I'll take your word for it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it sounded really good!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was all set for a quick and easy crock pot meal.
But that thing about gag reflexing through the roof is kinda discouraging me!
It sounds like a regular recipe, so the dry mix must have been bad. I hate when that happens!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the Slow Cooker recipe book from Econobusters. All the meals are "Make for $7 or less". You might want to grab it.
It was sounding good to me. I've fixed a slow cook roast with the dry soup mix before and ours was very good. Glad you saved the meat.....frugal me would have done the same thing!!!
ReplyDeleteReally??? I have made this recipe several times and it is one of our favorites!!! I have even used slight veriations to it like adding green peppers.
ReplyDeletei just can't imagine this sorrid tale
ReplyDeleteHow said - I'm sure it was smelling really good all day - what a disappointment!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when meals turn out bad.
ReplyDeleteSorry!
It sounded good though!
Brenda, I have made this minus the sour cream and we love it! The sour cream would have bothered me--I never have used that in it. Try it again, Brenda. It's really quite good.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious. It was sounding like something I would like until the end.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I once tried to make a sweet and sour pork dish. Thought it would taste just like the dish from our local Chinese resturant. NOT! It was terrible! I poured it all out and then we went out to eat!
ReplyDeleteyep, I've had those with almost the same result, I strained/rinsed the meat off and started over. Glad I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking as I was reading your recipe...that actually sounds really good. Then I read your update. That certainly would do it. Maybe you could give it another try...and let us know...LOL
