Crock-Pot Beef Stew

This is a recipe my mom used to make a lot when we were growing up. For veggies, she just threw in whatever was left over from the week so it could be peas, carrots, corn, whatever. We tend to not have to many left overs in the fridge to clean out so I use the following recipe, but you can add any vegetables you would like.

Crock-Pot Beef Stew:
INGREDIENTS:
3 carrots, cut up into round disks
3 potatoes, cut into cubes
2 lbs stew meat, cut into 1 1/2" cubes
1 beef bouillon cube (or 1 c beef bouillon)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 Tbls salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 large onion, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes

Place all ingredients in slow cooker in order listed (carrots on bottom and tomatoes on top).

Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or high 5-6 hours.

**If adding any left over vegetables place them on top of the tomatoes.

***I have also added some hot sauce to make it spicy, but the kids don't really like it that way so I don't do it often.
