Crockpot Beef Tips With Zip and For Dessert Try Banana Split Cake Suitable For Diabetics

For the busy family on the go, or just the cook with little time for making nutrious meals, Beef Tips with Zip are perfect for you. Bring out the crockpot or slowcooker and take full advantage of its benefits. This recipe is easy to toss into the crockpot in the morning and ready when you get home. The surprise "zip" ingredient adds a surprising flavor as well as tenderizes the meat. Everyone will want to know why your beef tips are different than the ones they've had in the past! Serve over brown rice or no-yolk egg noodles. Add a salad, then finish off the meal with our Banana-Split cake that is diabetic friendly.

BEEF TIPS WITH ZIP!

2 lbs beef stew meat
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 can low-fat cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 cup sugar-free lemon-lime soda

Turn slow-cooker on low. Place meat and mushrooms in cooker. In a mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients until well blended and pour over meat and mushrooms. Put cover on slow cooker and cook on low approximately 8 hours.

Serve over brown rice or no-yolk egg noodles.

Note: Without the rice or noodles, there are almost 3 times as many proteins as carbs. This allows you to have the rice or noodles. Serve with a salad that has kidney beans or garbonza beans added.

BANANA SPLIT CAKE

Crust: 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Filling: 3 small pkgs sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cans fat-free evaporated milk

Topping: 2 medium bananas, sliced
1 large can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1 carton sugar-free whipped topping
3 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
3 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup (I recommend Russel Stover brand)

Mix pudding and milk together until thickened. Chill in the refrigerator while making the crust. To make crust, mix graham crackers and butter together and press onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Remove filling from refrigerator and spread over top of crust. Add topping ingredients one at a time in the order listed. Refrigerate until serving time. If you really want to dress up your cake and you aren't concerned about the little extra bit of sugar, top each piece with a maraschino cherry before serving.

Enjoy!

Shredded Beef From My Crock-Pot to Yours

This is the easiest recipe ever and really quite versatile. Many of my simple recipes require a crock pot so make the investment now and you'll feel like you hired a personal chef. I love opening up my front door to the smell of a fresh cooked meal at the end of the day. This one takes less than 5 minutes before you head out in the morning and then a moment or two of shredding before serving.

My kids are picky eaters and they love this one. My husband is fine with left-overs but for those who aren't so lucky, the multiple uses for this meat will please even the biggest leftover snob!

Here's the recipe:

1 lb. stew beef (also fine with any kind of beef but the stew beef shreds easier)

1 can cream of celery (or really cream of anything!)

1 can crushed green chilis

(you can double or triple the recipe as long as it doesn't fill the crock pot. optimum is between 50-75% full)

Crock pot on high 6 - 8 hours (or more - just add some water to compensate for extra time). Shred apart with a couple forks.

TIP: you can even put the meat in the crock pot when it's frozen. Crock pots are just so darned accommodating to your circumstances!

Great on rice or noodles. I strongly suggest the new 90 minute rice from Uncle Bens. It's done in a flash and is perfectly sized for one dinner.

Also good on taco salad or in tacos. Make a double batch and freeze the rest for next time. Thaws perfectly.
