Linda's Crockpot Stew

I took a couple different recipes and made my own version.  It came out perfect.

Ingredients:

1-2lb stew meat

1 package Dried Onion Soup Mix

2 cups beef broth (I used Watkins Beef soup mix)

2 medium onions, chopped in big pieces

3-4 carrots chopped in big pieces

1-2 celery ribs chopped in big pieces

2-3 large potatoes chopped in big pieces

1 Large Bay Leaf (or 2-3 small)

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp basil

1 tsp oregano

1 Tbsp tapicoa

Garlic powder or fresh to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

In a ziploc bag, toss onion soup mix and stew meat.  Put into crockpot (you could probably skip the bag - but just make sure it is all coated evenly)

Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to coat evenly.

Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours or on low 8-10 hours.

Serve with homemade bread, optional :-)

If you have any leftover veggies like peas or green beans, you can add them in at the end.
