Beef Stew

If only you could smell the goodness in my house today!!!!   WOW!  Most everything I cook in the Crock Pot smells WONDERFUL, but this smelled seriously AMAZING!  It tasted just as good!  My parents were here for dinner tonight and they loved it as well!

This is one of those dishes that take a bit of time to prep, so it might be better for you on a weekend when you have a bit more time.  The result is well worth the work though!  You won't be disappointed!

Beef Stew

Ingredients:

1.5 lb. Stew Beef (I still cut mine into smaller pieces.  I have a toddler, so I like things to be bite-sized!)

4 potatoes, diced (you don't need to peel!)

4-5 carrots, chopped

4 stalks celery, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1 14.5oz. can diced tomatoes

1 6oz. can tomato paste

7 cups water

6 beef bouillon cubes

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. oregano

2 bay leaves

Directions:

Place all your veggies into the Slow Cooker.

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste and meat.

Add all your seasonings.

Add the water.

Stir and cook on LOW for 7-9 hours.

Serve with some yummy fresh bread!

Enjoy!
