So Yummy In My Tummy

All the cool weather last week put me in the mood for some warm, hearty beef stew! Here's the recipe I used for today. Even though the weather turned a bit warmer then it was supposed to, it was DELICIOUS!!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (a little spicy, so maybe cut down to 1/4 tsp)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 3 potatoes, diced
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 cup water as needed towards the end of the cooking time

 

1. Place meat in slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture. Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, onion, beef broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
2. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 6 hours.

Perfect with a nice slice of warm bread and a glass of chilled wine!
