Crockpot Beef Stew

 This is one of my favorite winter dishes. The family loves it, and it's so easy to do.

-3 pounds of stew meat

1 – 16 oz frozen green beans

2-3 whole carrots, peeled and sliced (I use 5)

3 russet potatoes peeled and diced ( I use 5)

1/2 onion, chopped ( I used one medium onion)

2 bay leaves

salt and pepper to taste

1 14 oz can of crushed tomatoes

2 cups water

1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce

In a 6-quart crockpot, place the stew meat and the potatoes on the bottom.

Place the green beans, onions, and carrots on top. (If green beans are frozen place after potatoes)

Pour the crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and the water on top. Season with salt and pepper and add three bay leaves.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.

Allow it to sit for a few minutes remove bay leaves and stir. before serving.

I like to serve this with whole wheat french bread. Or a toasted garlic french bread.
