Notes
- For extra flavor, brown the beef cubes in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
- You can substitute sour cream for heavy cream if preferred for a tangier sauce.
- Adjust seasoning after cooking; the ranch and gravy mixes add salt, so taste before adding extra salt.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
