Slow Cooker Beef Stew

This meal is another one of our favorites in the cold winter months. I also really enjoy this recipe because you can prep everything the night before and add it all to the slow cooker right before you go to work in the morning and it will be done by the time you get home. So easy to make and oh so yummy!

Recipe:

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 packet McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup beef broth
½ cup red wine
3 potatoes, cubed
4 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped

1) Place meat in slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with the flour mixture. Stir in garlic, bay leaf, paprika, rosemary, parsley, beef stew seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, onion, beef broth, red wine, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
2) Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 6 hours.

Notes: Remove the bay leaf before serving.
