Directions
Simple Crock Pot Beef Stew, Just a silly twist on beef stew I threw together. All depends on your personal taste what you like to add in. These are ours. ; I find that it just gets better the longer it cooks – and that you can sort of use the cooking times as “guidelines”. Sometimes I start out the night before while making another quick meal I made it during my Recipe #204245 and let it go slowly over night for the next evening’s meal – the picture I posted is from that. ***Note: I tend to be heavy handed when I shake or pour spices so measurements are approx. go by your own tastes, Excellent… Made a few changes… Left out potatoes, deglazed the pan used to brown meat with the wine, added the garlic to the pan, and other liquids, then added all of that to the crock pot. I forgot to add the bay leaves. I also didn’t add the brown gravy mix, or the cornstarch paste mix. instead I added some Maggie seasoning. It had a wonderful flavor….will definitely make this one again!, One word ~ “DELICIOUS”!!! Made as written with a couple of adjustments, I seasoned the stew meat with Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning salt free then browned without the flour, only used 32 ounces of beef broth and about 1 1/2 cups red wine, cooked on high for the first hour then switched to low for 5 hours, after adding the pearl onions and button mushrooms in place of peas, switched back to high for the last 2 hours, I thickened the sauce with a cornstarch slurry mixed with a teaspoon of Gravy Master. Perfect beef stew so tender and flavorful! Thanks for sharing the fabulous recipe. Made for Mommy Diva’s Cook-A-Thon 2012 ~ Fight Like a Girl!
