Beef Stew Crock Pot Rave

I have been trying to find the perfect beef stew recipe and i think i finally found it. I make my own beef stew seasoning:

Beef Stew Seasoning

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground red pepper or cayenne pepper
2 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon celery seed
2 tablespoons salt
2 1/4 tablespoons black pepper
2 1/4 tablespoons paprika
2 1/4 tablespoons garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in small mixing bowl; stir to combine. Store in a small jar, tightly closed. Use 2-3 tablespoons seasoning mix per 1 pound of meat.

Peel and cut up 6-7 carrots (i love carrots)
Cube 4-5 medium sized potatoes (i don't peel, i like the potatoes skins)
Chop 1/2 onion

Put all veggies into the crockpot along with one bottle of 32 oz. bottle of beef stock and how ver much cut up beef, then add 2-3 tablespoons of seasoning and put on low for 8 hours.
It came out wonderfully with some buttered bread, DH loved it! Thought i would share!

Sound delish !

Q - with 32ozs of beef stock...thats a lot of liquid to start off with .... since the CP produces alot of liquid when cooking, should i use 16 oz of beef stock liquid ?
