Simple prep and GREAT FLAVOR! I adapted this recipe from . It's a great basic recipe if you like a thick beef stew and it's quite simple to add more or less of the ingredients to suit you taste. Make it your own by adding corn, peas, tomatoes, or whatever you like! Trust me, YOU CAN'T MESS THIS UP!
Ingredients:
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (lawry's works well)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 lb stew meat (beef)
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
1 onion, chopped (i like to use flash-frozen pre-chopped)
3 potatoes, diced
4 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
Directions:
1. In a small dish, dissolve beef bouillon in warm water.
2. In a plastic zipper bag, mix together flour, salts, pepper, and paprika. Add meat and shake to coat meat. Spray slow-cooker with non-stick cooking spray and add contents of bag.
3. Add Worcestershire sauce and place bay leaves on top. Slowly pour beef broth over beef mixture and add onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
4. Cover and cook on low setting for 10-12 hours or on high setting for 4-6 hours. Stir to combine ingredients before serving.
