crock pot beef stew

tonight... this was happening in the Meierotto house...

it's kinda cold, wet & nasty out. My oldest mentioned beef stew the other day & I decided I needed to make some soon. So, I sorta put together my own recipe & hoped it would turn out. Add in a little homemade bread {frozen bread dough, people}. I have to say... Y.U.M. I LOVE my crock pot. Something about spending a bit in the morning preparing & not having to think about supper the rest of the day is bliss in my book. I had a few people ask me for my recipe, so I'll give it to you {to the best of my ability}.

Crock Pot Beef Stew

2 lbs Beef Round Steak {cut into 1" cubes}

1/2 cup flour {seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic salt}

1/2 lg onion coursely chopped

1/2 green pepper coursely chopped

1 bag baby carrots

1/2 bag frozen mixed veggies or green beans

8-10 "b sized" red potatoes quartered {I left the peel on mine}

1 lg sweet potato peeled & cubed

1 can stewed tomatoes with juice

4 cups beef boullion

Put flour & seasoning in a gallon ziploc bag. In parts, add beef pieces in the bag with flour & coat. Add to a medium to medium high skillet coated with oil or spray. Brown both sides of the beef & repeat until all the beef is browned. Place beef in a crock pot, add rest of the ingredients, stir, cover & cook on high for 6-8 hours. It was so good, made the perfect broth with all the flavors mingling all day. We served ours with crusty bread I made from frozen bread dough {perfect for dipping}. This made for a pretty full crock pot. We have a good amount of leftovers, which I LOVE. Maybe even some for the freezer!

enjoy!
