Rice and Meat and Gravy

When I was growing up there were a few things my mom made that would make me stuff myself silly.  Now understand that when I was younger I didn't eat much.  My mom was a great cook, I just didn't like food.  Spaghetti was one thing I loved and another was Rice and Meat and Gravy.  Sometimes my mom would make mashed potatoes instead of rice.  OOOhhhh yummy.  That's what I made for dinner tonight.  For my favorite meal I don't make it that often.  Not because of it's difficulty, but because it's not the family favorite.   Tonight it was a hit.  Even after taco night last night.

Here's the instructions:

You get some beef.  stew meat, fajita meat, whatever.  You slice it up into bite size pieces.  Throw it into the crock pot with 2 packages of brown gravy mix and about 3 cups of water.   Let that cook for about 6 hours on low until the meat is so tender it's falling apart.  Then just mash up some potatoes or cook up some rice, thicken the gravy and voila, dinner.
