Cooler fall weather is beginning to creep upon us. And along with it for many of us comes the craving for comfort food dinners. I know I am certainly one who starts to crave comfort food as soon as the cooler fall temperatures set in. Foods like creamy mashed potatoes,baked macaroni and cheese, and perhaps a hearty pan of chicken pot pie. Or, the comforting goodness of these family-favorite Slow Cooker Beef Tips.

So when I got the opportunity recently to take on a dinner recipe challenge from my favorite grocery store, Harris Teeter, this Slow Cooker Beef Tips recipe immediately jumped into my mind.

What exactly was my Harris Teeter recipe challenge, you ask?

To prepare a recipe for $20 or less ... Using only Harris Teeter private-label items as ingredients.

"Whaaaaattttt?? How is that even a challenge?" I thought to myself.

See, because as a very frequent shopper at Harris Teeter, I am well aware of the great variety of products they carry in their private-label product lines. I knew it would be no problem to find a Harris Teeter version of everything I needed.

And I also knew I'd be fully satisfied with the quality of each ingredient, too. Because Harris Teeter prides itself in developing private-label products that are just as good as ... if not even better ... than the leading brands. Not a one of their products has ever let me down.

So my 7-year-old daughter and I set out to Harris Teeter last Saturday morning to do our "challenge" shopping. And just as I knew would be the case, found everything on our list for this slow cooker beef tips recipe available in a Harris Teeter private-label product ... Harris Teeter beef broth, cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce ... Harris Teeter Reserve Angus Beef ... Harris Teeter Farmer's Market sliced mushrooms ... and even Harris Teeter Fresh Foods Market prepared mashed potatoes to spoon our tasty beef tips over. No problem.

But what about cost? Certainly there's no way I could make abeefrecipe for under $20, right?

Wrong.

Harris Teeter private-label brand products are very affordable. What do you think my total cost was for all the ingredients to prepare this beef tips dish? Well, I'm happy to say I beat the $20 challenge budget limit!

My total cost = $18.03

And that included a beautiful one-pound beef top sirloin steak, family-sized prepared mashed potatoes, and even a bunch of fresh parsley to chop and sprinkle on top of each serving.

Kudos to Harris Teeter for offering such a fabulous variety of high-quality private-label products that make shopping for my family so easy and affordable.

Now when it comes to preparing this dish, it's just as easy as shopping at Harris Teeter.

Simply cut top sirloin steak into cubes, season generously with salt and pepper, and brown the steak cubes on all sides in a hot skillet. Browning the meat before placing it in the slow cooker develops a wonderful richness of flavor that just can't be created by the slow cooker alone, so it's important to the final dish not to skip this step.

Then just place the browned beef in a slow cooker along with chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, beef broth, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Set the temperature setting to LOW, and let the beef simmer away for 6 to 8 hours.

The beef will get super tender and develop a rich, flavorful broth as it cooks.

This Slow Cooker Beef Tips recipe is comfort food at its best. It's a recipe we'll turn to again and again as the cooler weather of fall rolls in. Just as we'll turn to Harris Teeter again and again for the high-quality, low-priced ingredients to prepare it.
