Crock Pot Beef Stew
This past weekend was kind of dreary here in the Southern Tier and felt to me like perfect stew weather. So I made a batch in my crock pot and am it was so delicious that I ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ate my stew with fresh rosemary and olive that I picked up from the bakery. If you’re looking for a simple stew recipe that you can pop into the crock pot before your day starts and forget about until you get home at night, this is definitely for you!
