10. McCormick's Slow Cooker Beef Stew (Yum Yum)

Slow Cooker Beef Stew: For an easy-to-prepare meal, use McCormick® Beef Stew Seasoning with beef cubes and vegetables in your slow cooker. The beef is deliciously tender and the vegetables are infused with a wonderful beef flavor.

Ingredients
3 cups water
1 package Beef Stew Seasoning Mix
2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup flour
2 cups potato chunks
1 1/4 cups carrot chunks
1 medium onion cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup sliced celery


Directions:

Mix vegetables, water and Seasoning Mix in slow cooker.

Coat beef with flour. Stir into ingredients in slow cooker. Cover.

Cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH until beef is tender.

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 5 hrs

Cooking tip:
For a shorter cook time, more flavor and more tender beef, brown flour-coated beef in 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high heat in large skillet. Drain, if needed. Stir browned beef into remaining ingredients in slow cooker. Cook 4 hours on HIGH.
