Thanks to new blogger and cool girl Ashley Post for giving me the inspiration to post my favorite easy crock pot recipe.
Moms are queens of ease. They need meals that can be prepared quickly with one-hand in under 20 minutes. That's why this recipe is among my top ten all-time favorites.
Beef Stew
Ingredients:
1 lb. small red potatoes, quartered
1 16 oz. bag frozen baby carrots (no need to thaw)
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
1-2 lb. boneless beef stew meat, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup water
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 10 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup Coca-Cola
Directions:
1. Mix the last 4 ingredients in a bowl (water, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, coke).
2. Place all other ingredients in your crock pot in the order listed above.
3. Pour soup mixture over the stew meat.
4. Cook 9 hours on LOW or 6 hours on HIGH.
5. Serve with buttermilk biscuits or fresh french bread. Yum!
I just had to leave a comment (albeit belated) on this stew recipe. I was intrigued by some of the ingredients (like the mushroom soup & the Coke!), and had to give it a try it the other night. It was definitely quick & easy to prepare, and super tasty. A "keeper" for sure!
