Ground beef browned with onion goes into the slow cooker with baby potatoes, condensed French onion soup, onion soup mix, and beef broth. After 4 to 5 hours on low, a cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce and provolone melts over the top. It turns the flavors of French onion soup into a filling, budget-friendly family meal. Spoon it over mashed potatoes or rice for extra gravy.

A rump roast cooks low and slow with baby potatoes, carrots, onion, rosemary, and thyme in beef broth until it is tender enough to slice or shred. Searing the roast in a hot pan for a few minutes first adds flavor. It takes 7 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 on high. Add the potatoes and carrots halfway through if you like them firmer.

Beef brisket and a jar of green salsa verde are all it takes to make this tender, shreddable beef. For a milder version, mix one cup of salsa verde with a cup of water before pouring it over the meat. Pile the beef into tortillas, onto a bun with avocado, into quesadillas, or over nachos. Make plenty so there is enough for leftovers.
