Beef Tips and Gravy

This is a very simple, easy slow cooker meal.  I love how a slow cooker can make magic of a few simple ingredients. You can easily double or triple the recipe depending on the size of your crock.

1 lb beef stew meat (i bought a pre-made package that was 1.25 lbs, so no need to be exact)
1 12 oz. jar Beef Gravy
1/2 onion, chopped

Place all ingredients in slow cooker, gently mix together to break up the beef. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 (if cooking on low, I usually set it to high for the first 30 mins to an hour then turn it down) . If you want, you could brown the meat in a skillet first, but you really don't have to. Serve over hot rice or egg noodles. Sometimes I add a package of sliced mushrooms with the rest of the ingredients.
