2 lbs beef stew meat,cubed
1/3 c flour
1/2 tsp season salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Tbs olive oil
3 clove garlic, minced
2 bay leaf
1 tsp paprika
1 Tbs (low sodium)worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 c(low sodium) beef broth
5 potatoes, diced
4 large carrots, sliced (or a 1 pd bag of baby cut carrots)
1 stalk celery, chopped (opt)
1 pack beef stew seasonings(I use the mccormick)


Mix flour salt ,pepper in ziploc bag and toss w/meat.Brown in oil w/onion,then add to crock pot.Deglaze pan w/broth then add all ingred to crock pot and cook on high about 4-6 hours.

You dont HAVE to brown the meat but I like too.....you can just add all to crock and go from there.


I also usually add corn and peas or even green beans...we like it pretty hearty w/crusty rolls.

This is killer stuff just be sure to use low sodium when ya can!
