Slow Cooker Beef and Mushrooms Recipe

Combine the stew meat mushroom soup mushrooms with their liquid and onion soup mix in the crock of a slow cooker. Pour in red wine if desired. Season with pepper.

Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours.

In the last half hour of cooking time bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed 20 to 25 minutes.
