Beef Stew in your Crock Pot image

What's better to come home to (besides your family) than dinner already to eat. Just make some biscuits and a salad and you are ready to call the family to dinner.. Do not be tempted to lift the lid while this is cooking as heat and steam will escape and interrupt the way that the meat and vegetables cook and will take longer...

I've made this stew several times and it's always a hit. The flavor is incredible and the beef is always so tender. I highly recommend this recipe.

This beef stew recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I love that I can throw all the ingredients in my crock pot in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home from work. The beef is always tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked
