Crockpot Beef Stew

It is a cold, dreary morning outside and doesn't seem much better in the house. My husband was called in to work on his day off and will be working outside in the cold and wet all day. I think today is a good time to fall back on an easy, comforting favorite, stew.

This recipe is so easy, a can of cream of mushroom soup (cream of celery is good, too) a can of cheddar cheese soup, mixed together, with a packet of onion soup mix. (I like the flavor of the onion soup mix but I have to pour it through a sifter because my husband just can't handle the onions.) Pour the soup mixture in your crock pot, add a package of beef stew meat, and about a pound each peeled and cubed carrots and potatoes. Cook for 8-9 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. Serve with good bread or biscuits. Super easy and yummy, too.

If you have never tried them, this is a good recipe to use a slow cooker liner. There is no mess, just throw the liner away after supper, wipe out the crock pot and put it away. Happy Saturday.
