Slowcooker Beef Stew

Amazing soups and stews are easy to make. Using a slow cooker is the way to go when making beef stew. Allowing the beef to absorb the flavor of the herbs spice and vegetable is what makes this recipe outstanding. I love allowing the beef to cook even longer if possible, but I don’t like mushy vegetables. I like them to still hold their shape and taste. You can make this recipe allowing the beef to cook four hours and then adding the vegetable for another four hour if you can and have the time. If not the four hours for both works just fine. With the snowy weather we are having I am making lots of delicious soups and stew in my crock pot. (More recipe to come shortly.) My favorite part of making things in the slow cooker that is that I have leftovers for the next day.
Serve this stew with a nice side salad and you are good to go.
Bon Appétit,

This stew is filled with lots of delicious fresh cut carrots, onion, celery, and sweet peas.
The great thing about beef stew is that you have leftovers the following day. I always think it tastes better the next day. Enjoy!
