Wow! This was surprisingly good! I did not have the Onion Soup Mix, but subbed a couple tablespoons of a product called Onion Onion. Other than that, and adding 8 oz of mushrooms to the top, I made it as instructed. The mushrooms were a delicious addition and soaked up the flavors of the au jus. Also, I made it the night before, so it sat overnight in the refrigerator in the crockpot marinating. My husband started it at lunch, so it cooked 5 hrs on low and it was perfectly cooked. Even my 2.5 year old ate it up, and he is picky!!

We liked it! Best of all, I had all ingredients on hand, except for cilantro, which we skipped. I used Laura's Lean Beef Top Round, about 1 lb. I had a fajita seasoning mix, which I coated the beef in - it almost gave it a lime-fajita taste, the can of black beans, and I added a bag of steamfresh corn. It was good! And easy! And I didn't have to go to the store!

It's a good recipe, but credit should be given to Paula Dean from the Food Network.
