I got this from a magazine, but you can get it here.
2 pounds boneless beef round, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 10-3/4-ounce cans condensed golden mushroom soup
1 medium onion, sliced
1 8-ounce container dairy sour cream chive dip
3 cups hot cooked noodles
In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker stir together the beef, soup, and onion. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Stir in dip. Serve over hot cooked noodles. Makes 6 servings.
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

okay. I was skeptical. But…it was GOOD! So good, in fact, that suitNtie immediately exclaimed, “MMMM!!!” Which was before I even got to sit to eat, by the way. So I was excited.
Things I did (not on purpose)…
1) forgot to put it in the crockpot until 3:30, so we ate just a hair after 7:30. I would have liked to have cooked down the meat a bit more.
2) put the meat in still partially frozen.
3) stirred in the dip (Helluva Good Bodacious onion, btw, but next time I’ll go ghetto and use a packet of Onion soup mix and an 8oz container of sour cream because it will be cheaper) with the soup and onion at the beginning of cooking and realized the error later
What I did on purpose…
Stirred in a few ounces of plain, whipped cream cheese as it was finished to help the creamy factor since I had made a boo-boo by stirring the dip in at the beginning.
We definitely enjoyed this one and I would bank on seeing it again!

YUM! Definitely approved this one.
Like she said, a bit more tender on the meat would have made it perfect.

I have to say I didn’t really believe you on this one. How could it be good with 4 ingredients? But the meat was on sale and I figured I’d give it a try since it *was* only 4 ingredients. I’m so glad I did because it was so good and so easy! Definitely a keeper for an easy middle of the week dinner!
