I have made it several times, and it always generates raves. I don't add the corn starch and water when I make it. Also, I use beef roast instead of stew meat. I think it gives it a richer, heartier flavor. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs stewing beef, lean, cut in 1-inch cubes (i use a roast instead) |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet lipton beef and onion soup mix |
2 beef bouillon cubes |
4 medium potatoes, cubed |
3 carrots, sliced |
1 stalk celery, sliced (not just 1 rib, but the whole stalk) |
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, with juice |
1 garlic clove, crushed (i use the minced garlic in a jar) |
salt and pepper |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients, except for cornstarch and water, in a slow cooker on low heat for 8 to 10 hours. 2. Taste and adjust seasonings. 3. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with water (if desired). 4. Turn heat to high and stir until thickened. |
