Am’S Crock Pot Beef Goulash Stew

• 1 1/2 - 2 lbs beef tips or 1 1/2-2 lbs stew meat
• 1 (10 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
• 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus mix (1 dry packet)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (I always use half Hungarian and half reg)
• 4 ounces tomato sauce (1/2 small 8 oz can)
• 14 1/2 ounces beef broth (1 can)
• 3/4 cup corn (1/2 can drained)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 2 onions (lengthwise quartered I cut them smaller)
• 1 (14 ounce) diced tomatoes
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• salt or pepper
• elbow macaroni (cooked, drained, buttered)

1. Add beef tips to crock pot.
2. Mix ingredients 2-13 in bowl and add to crock pot.
3. Add onions, tomatoes and butter and cook for 8-10 hours.
4. Add pepper to taste.
5. Cook macaroni, drain and add oil and butter to keep from sticking.
6. When about ready to serve, add 1/4 cup of sour cream and simmer.
7. **I know some people do not prefer sour cream---but this amount will only add to the creaminess and help to balance the taste, otherwise it may be too thin. Add slightly less if there is a concern and you will not know that sour cream is added!**.
