Crockpot - beef stew

ingredients
  • 2 lbs of beef stew meat, pre-cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 pack of McCormick's beef stew seasoning (the normal one and not the slow cooker one--couldn't find the slow cooker seasoning at the store)
  • 1 bag of frozen stew vegetables (includes potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery)

directions

  • place beef on the bottom of the crockpot
  • place the frozen vegetables on top of the beef
  • mix the beef stew seasoning with water and pour onto the beef (have enough water to completely cover the beef and veggies)
  • cook on low for 8 hours

result

  • tasted good! very tender beef and very well seasoned.
  • a bit watery even though i had potatoes in there.

next time

  • kim said can make it starchier by adding mashed potato flakes.
