Re: beef stew crockpot

depends on how big your crockpot is, but here's a basic recipe i use and vary depending on what i have around:

1.5 lbs cubed stew meat
cut up peeled potatoes, carrots into cubes
place beef on bottom of crock pot, add veggies over it
i sometimes also add peas or diced celery, diced onion, or mushroooms, cubed parsnips etc
i sometimes throw in a can of stewed tomato, and have been known to add red wine as well!

pour one and a half jars of beef gravy (i sometimes mix beef with mushroom gravy) over meat and veggies.

season generously with salt/pepper - can add oregano as well

cook on low for 6-8 hours.

may need to add some cornstarch at the end to thicken the gravy.

If you have a beef gravy powder (there is a brand called Bisto, its English, and awesome) you can add that to the end as well - it adds a ton of flavor and thickens the gravy nicely instead of cornstarch
