Some Cold Weather Stew

Remember (if you read it) in my last post I said I cooked up a wonderful stew using a new recipe? Well, I'm going to post about it today. It seems snow is hitting every region of the country and this is perfect for that kind of a day.

I've only been following Wearing Gackey's Apron for a few months but her recipes are delish and I took her "Snow Day Stew" for a whirl and I loved it, as did everyone else.

Here's her recipe and directions, as they are on her blog.

Crock-Pot Beef Stew

1 1/2 lbs stew meat, cut into chunks
1/4 cup butter
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can water
3 carrots cut into chunks
3 large potatoes cut into chunks
2 stalks celery cut into chunks
2 onions cut into chunks
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup red wine
2 bay leaves
Nature’s Seasoning (to taste)

Directions:Brown the beef in the butter over medium high heat in pot or skillet on top of stove.

Transfer to crock pot. Add the soup and water and stir. Then add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot.

Cook on high for about 5 hours.


*So I didn't have Nature's Seasoning and instead added garlic powder and it tasted good.*  Definitely try this recipe out and check out Miss Brittney's recipe blog!
