Go to work…

Wash clothes…

Grocery Shop…

Church…

At times life can become so overwhelming that I feel as though I am just getting lost in my long and growing ‘To Do’ list. I try not to make fast food a constant lifestyle, but a fast meal has definitely become a way of life for me. And let me tell you my slow cooker has saved me a many of days because I can throw in some ingredients, add liquid, cover, and crank that baby up and forget it. I especially love to do this in the morning before going to work and coming home in the evening to a meal that is hot and ready for my family.

So if you ever find yourself short on time…give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out in the comment section below.

Crockpot Beef Stew Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef chunked beef stew meat (this way you don’t have to chop it)
• 3 celery ribs, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups baby carrots, whole
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 5 baby red potatoes, sliced
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 32 oz beef broth
• 6 oz can tomato paste
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

Combine beef, celery, carrots, red onion, potatoes, pepper, garlic salt, garlic powder, oregano, salt, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and tomato paste in the crock pot.

Set crockpot to HIGH for 6 hours, or LOW for 10 hours…Let simmer all day, stirring occasionally.

About 20 minutes before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish, and pour into the crockpot, stirring to incorporate. This will thicken up your stew. May add in some frozen peas and/or corn at this time if you would like.

Serve up the stew in a big bowl, with a side of your favorite bread.

Enjoy!
