Winging it Beef Stew

Quack

Gluten free, dairy free, modify to low carb

Ingredients:

1 lb stew beef

2 containers/8 cups beef stock/broth

6 golden potatoes roughly 3” sized (leave out for low carb)

12 ish baby carrots

1/2 small white onion

Spices: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

Cut up stew beef into bite sized pieces. (Ours store cuts them into biggish pieces to large for stew/soup)

Brown beef in a skillet. It’ll add a smidge of flavor to the beef and keep it from looking grey when boiled in the broth. (You can skip browning it and it won’t change things a lot).

Dice potatoes into bite sized pieces of roughly equal size. Don’t measure them or anything. If you want this to be lo wish carb leave out the potato.

Dice baby carrots into bite size Pieces of roughly equal size. You could use regular sized carrots but will have to peel them.

Dice onion into bite size pieces of roughly equal size.

Adjust spices based on what you like. Keep in mind some broth/stock has salt and adjust accordingly.

Put everything into a slow cooker and set on high for 4 hrs or low for 6-8 hrs. If you’re home stir it sometimes but you don’t need to. (The benefit of a slow cooker is you set it and walk away).
