Crockpot Beef Stew
2 lb Beef chuck or stew meat, cut in 1" cubes
1/4 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 1/2 c Beef broth
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1 Garlic clove
1 Bay leaf
1 ts Paprika
4 Carrots; sliced
3 Potatoes; diced
2 Onions; chopped
1 Celery stalk; sliced
2 ts Kitchen Bouquet; (opt)
Place meat in crockpot. Mix flour, salt, and pepper, and pour over meat; stir to coat meat with flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix well. Cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours. (High: 4 to 6 hours). Stir stew thoroughly before serving. I usually don't put in the onions and last time I made stew, I tripled the amount of potatoes, celery and carrots. It stretches the stew and makes it last longer.
