Did you know you can help your kids’ schools with what’s in your pantry and products you use every day? Â Recently, I learned about Campbell’s Labels for Education, and when I checked the website, I found all 3 of my kids’ schools were signed up.
All I have to do is just snip off the UPC labels for so many things I regularly purchase or already had at home, send them to school, and let the points add up so our schools could get things they needed. You can even track your school’s progress and see their wishlist online!
One thing I purchase all the time is Campbell’s Soup. My kids love it, but I also love to cook with it.  I recently discovered Campbell’s Kitchen.  It’s full of recipes to use Campbell’s Soup, and I had to try one with my own little twist.  After finding the perfect recipe, I headed to the Walmart to grab all my ingredients.
I made the Slow Cooker Melt-in-Your Mouth Short Ribs and changed it up a bit. Â You will not be disappointed in this one! It melts in your mouth like butter.
In this recipe, you are supposed to pour in a dark beer or ale. Â I used Guiness. Â It gave it a strong flavor and combined with the brown sugar it was very tasty. Â For my version, I added carrots and left out the thyme and then ladled it out over steaming baked potatoes.
By serving it over baked potatoes, I’ve turned these Slow Cooker Short Ribs into an all-in-one type of meal. Â My husband and son devoured it! Â I loved how tender the meat was, and it was so good mixed with the baked potatoes.
How do you make your baked potatoes? I learned a trick from my mom, who learned it from my sister-n-law, and I use it all the time for perfect baked potatoes. Â After I wash the potatoes, I stab them a few times with a fork, then wrap them individually in wax paper. Â It keeps them moist and delicious. Â Then, I heat them in the microwave. Â One potato usually takes about 5 minutes and it’s done.
I love that you can quickly throw this together in the morning and have it all ready for dinner when you get home. All you have to do is make the potatoes. Then, you’re ready to sit down to a delicious hearty meal.

OMG what a great recipe for the upcoming cool, fall evenings!
This looks amazing! Definitely a great fall recipe. My Kiddies school collect box tops but this is a great idea too.
This looks absolutely delicious! Love short ribs!
After I saw this on our FB page, I knew I had to come see the details. Potatoes and beef together are always a hit. I would’t have ever thought to add French Onion soup. EXCELLENT!
I whole-heartedly agree with Marilyn & Tiffany’s comment, GREAT recipe for the fall colder evenings. Our 2 adult sons live with us and my oldest loves baked potatoes, so this may certainly become his favorite! EASY, yet beef spare ribs, onion soup, carrots with the bottle of ale or beer spikes the taste up a notch or two! Cooked in the slow cooker, an IDEAL dinner. Thanks for sharing, Stephanie. Oh, I collected Labels for Education from many products for years. Sarah Helene in Minneapolis
Short rubs in a potato????/ OMG delicious!
This looks like a perfect recipe for Fall. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks so much for a great crockpot recipe and for the baked potato inspiration too! Two meals in one!

Mmmmmm! This looks like a fun dinner!
Thanks for this recipe! I am always looking for new slow cooker recipes and my husband always wants more beef on the menu!
I just used my slowcooker to make a Chicken Tortilla Soup using Campbell’s Cream of Chicken & Cheddar Cheese soup. I used Swanson broth — it’s also part of the Labels for Education program. 🙂 #client
