Simple Beef Stew in the Crock Pot

SIMPLE CROCK POT BEEF STEW RECIPE

Hello blog friends.  During the winter months I love using my crock pot to make different recipes.  It's so easy to use and I love that I don't have to be watching the stove the whole time.  I can be doing other things while my meal is cooking away in the crock pot.

I made this stew recently and it tasted so good and everyone loved it.  I made egg noodles on the side to go with the meal.  The egg noodles were a big hit with everyone especially my teen!

This is one of the dishes my mom used to make for our family back when I was little.  It brought back fond memories of all 8 of us gathered around the dinner table for a good hearty meal.

I hope I have inspired you to make beef stew for dinner soon.  :)

Please let me know if you make this dish and how you liked it.
