Cozy Slow Cooker Beef Stew By Chef and fellow ALKie, Juli Posner

You might be surprised to know that at the end of my busy personal chef workday cooking for others, I rarely spent any time or energy making a delicious meal for myself.

This is why I love slow cookers!!!

This stew can also be made on the stovetop if you have time to spare, but for busy people like me a slow cooker can’t be beaten!

With its quick prep and easily accessible ingredients, by the end of the day (or overnight) you have a delicious, rich, cozy beef stew packed with nourishing vegetables and tender beef.

It also makes the house smell delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup flour

1 medium diced onion

3 large carrots diced into medium chunks

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced into med/large pieces (depending on how chunky you prefer it)

1-3/4 lb. of beef stew meat cut into medium cubes

1 can (10-3/4 oz) of condensed cream of undiluted mushroom soup

1 can (10-3/4 oz) of condensed undiluted tomato soup

1 envelope of onion soup mix

1 cup of frozen peas

Directions:

Coat beef lightly in flour.

Brown the beef on all sides in a large skillet coated with cooking spray and transfer to slow cooker.

Place vegetables (except peas) on top of the beef and add all soups.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.

Add frozen peas into hot stew and stir before serving. 

Serve with warm crusty bread!

Happy Eating!
