I love how easy this recipe is to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day. When I came home from work, dinner was ready and waiting for me.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover roast beef or steak in my freezer and this is a great way to use it up.

I served this stew with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal. The bread soaked up all the delicious sauce.
