1 1/2-2 lbs beef tips or 1 1/2-2 lbs stew meat

1 (10 ounce) envelope onion soup mix

1 (1 ounce) packet au jus mix (1 dry packet)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

3 cups water

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (i always use half hungarian and half reg)

4 ounces tomato sauce (1/2 small 8 oz can)

14 1/2 ounces beef broth (1 can)

3/4 cup corn (1/2 can drained)

2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon sugar

2 onions (lengthwise quartered i cut them smaller)

1 (14 ounce) diced tomatoes

2 -3 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup sour cream

salt or pepper

elbow macaroni (cooked, drained, buttered)

Directions:

1. Add beef tips to crock pot.
2. Mix ingredients 2-13 in bowl and add to crock pot.
3. Add onions, tomatoes and butter and cook for 8-10 hours.
4. Add pepper to taste.
5. Cook macaroni, drain and add oil and butter to keep from sticking.
6. When about ready to serve, add 1/4 cup of sour cream and simmer.
7. **I know some people do not prefer sour cream-but this amount will only add to the creaminess and help to balance the taste, otherwise it may be too thin. Add slightly less if there is a concern and you will not know that sour cream is added!**.
