Slow Cooked Italian Stew (Crock Pot) image

Have always been a fan of slow cooked meals and with my new crock pot, I'm equiped to try some new ones. The original recipe comes from "The Slow Cooker Bible" and includes my intended modifications. As I have not yet tried this dish, feedback is especially welcome.

This slow-cooked Italian stew was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the meat was fall-apart tender. I served it over mashed potatoes, and it was a real crowd-pleaser.
