Dinner Highlight: Easy Peasy Beef Stew!

Wow. It's been a while....heh.

Well! What's new? I've got a job! Which is one of the reasons why I haven't been blogging as often...but here I am!

So this new recipe I tried was given to me by my lovely women's group leader at my church. It's from the Southern Plate recipes collection, and it's all made in the slow cooker! For all y'all that do not have one (and I believe I had mentioned this in one of my previous blogs), it's a great investment, and well worth it! Especially since I've started working full-time, having a slow cooker definitely solves the "I-don't-have-time-to-cook-and-make-dinner" problem/excuse (heh, sorry ladies, but let's face it...we make time for things we reaaally want to do..right?).

Anyways...this recipe is so simple it's ridiculous...yet it's soooo delicious! My hubby was definitely enjoying this meal. Sooo...here goes!

Easy Peasy Beef Stew!

Ingredients:
1.5-2 lbs. stew meat, cut into small pieces
1 pkg onion soup mix
1 can beef broth
baby carrots (however much you prefer; I added about half of a small bag)

Directions:
Dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker, give it a little stir, and cook it on low for 6-8 hours. (I cooked mine for the whole time I was gone at work, which was about 9-10 hours, and it was still great!). Serve over hot rice or egg noodles.

That's it! Hope your taste buds have a blast with this recipe! ;-)
