- 1 pound beef stew meat
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Instructions
- Arrange tender stew meat in the crockpot, combining it with savory onion soup mix, rich brown gravy mix, creamy mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms, and robust beef broth. Thoroughly blend all ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Secure the crockpot lid and allow the mixture to simmer on low temperature for 8 consecutive hours, enabling the meat to become exceptionally tender and flavors to meld harmoniously.

Notes
- Select well-marbled beef chunks for extra tenderness and rich flavor during slow cooking.
- Consider reducing sodium by using low-sodium soup mixes and broth to control salt content.
- Quickly brown meat before adding to crockpot for deeper caramelized flavor and enhanced texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular noodles with gluten-free egg noodles and use cornstarch instead of gravy mix.
