Slow Cooker Pepper Steak | Crock Pot Beef

A deliciously tender slow cooker family favorite – especially when served over rice or buttered egg noodles.   I love it because it is quick to put together and depending on how recently you topped up your fresh fruit and vegetables, most ingredients will be on hand.

The one tiny down side to this recipe, browning the meat (creates dishes), is eliminated with the West Bend 84915 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker with Tote - you can brown the meat and onion directly in the non-stick metal insert!  How cool is that, you don't lose any of that delicious flavor, it stays in the slow cooker.

And then when the dish is cooked, you can pack this slow cooker up (don't forget the cord) and pop it in its very own insulated tote carry bag, and take it to pot luck dinners, neighborhood barbecues, or tail gating.  Extra bonus - the slow cooker base is actually a mini griddle - great for preparing Sunday brunch on... what a great idea!
