CROCK POT BEEF OR LAMB CASSEROLE
An economical meal for a family. Crock Pot/slow cookers are a winner in the heat of summer and great to put dinner on before going to work in the mornings. Who could beat a hearty casserole in winter either? You can use whatever veges that you have at hand. Use a gluten-free flour and stock if making this recipe gluten-free. Serve with toast, pasta or rice. I remember my mother making this casserole when I was a child. To make a richer gravy substitute 1 cup of red wine for 1 cup of stock. This is a great rustic dish- no need to be to accurate with your measurements or weights

CROCK POT BEEF CASSEROLE
Easy crock pot recipe that makes tender, savory chunks of beef. Recipe was included in a book that came with my crock pot. You could probably add mushrooms too. The cook time is a guess-timation. The directions actually state to cook on "auto-shift" for 6-7 hours but not all crocks have the "auto-shift" option.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast, short ribs, and lamb shoulder are all good choices for slow-cooked casseroles. These cuts are tough but become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to seal in the juices. You can brown the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat or in the slow cooker on the high setting.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and mushrooms.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid in the casserole helps to flavor the meat and vegetables. You can use water, broth, or even wine.
- Season the casserole well: Salt, pepper, and garlic are essential seasonings for any casserole. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the casserole on low heat: Slow cooking helps to tenderize the meat and vegetables and allows the flavors to meld together.
