Beef Stew

This is a super easy recipe with loads of flavor.

If you enjoy cooking meals in a slow cooker, you can modify it to do so by browning the meat and onion then transferring that to the slow cooker adding the remaining ingredients except the vegetables and cook on high for about 4 hours.  About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, add the vegetables.  I started this too late to do in the slow cooker and have written the directions on how I prepared it earlier today.

Note: If you do not have beef broth in the house, you can use chicken broth instead.  Also, if you don’t have gravy master, GET IT!!  It enhances so many meals, adds so much flavor and is worth keeping in your spice rack.

Enjoy!!
