Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

This is my variation from a couple of other recipes:

1 lb stew beef
1 can French onion soup
1 can water
3 oz cream cheese
1 tbsp sour cream
salt to taste
pepper to taste
garlic powder - 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
cornstarch
12 oz egg noodles

~Put beef stew in crockpot, add can of soup, can of water, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
~After cooking in crockpot, dump everything into a pan on the stove. Turn stove on medium or medium high. Add cream cheese and sour cream. Let it thicken. Be careful not to let it burn. If needed, use cornstarch to make it thicker.
~Serve over egg noodles.

Vegetable Beef Soup

1 lb. gr. beef
1 lb bag of mixed frozen veggies with tomatoes
1 med. onion diced
1 can tomato paste
Beef stock- optional (I made my own beef stock from beef bones and then froze in ice cube trays, so I add about 3-4 cubes)
Salt & pepper to taste
water

In large stock pot brown ground beef with onion. Add tomato paste and water (I use 5-6 cans of water- from the tomato paste can)
Bring to a boil and add veggies. Cook until at least warm through, or you can leave it on low heat for several hours.

Serve with warm rolls.
