Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 pound baby carrots
3 russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
2 pounds beef stew meat
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 Tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 onion (diced)
2 stalks celery (diced)
1 cup green peas we used frozen

Instructions

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker.
Stir just enough to mix in spices.
Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or high 5-6 hours.
Remove bay leaf and serve.

Notes

To turn this into a freezer meal:

Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized freezer meal bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook for 9-10 hours on low heat (you can cook it for 5-6 hours on high heat, but it will not be as tender as cooking it low and slow. We highly recommend low and slow!). Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
