Quick Pick: Beef Stew

Ingredients
1 lb to 1.5 lbs. beef roast
1 large russet potato
3/4 cup of chopped carrots
1/2 red onion chopped into large chunks
1 large (or 2 small) garlic cloves minced
1 package of onion soup mix 
1 t. rosemary
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
32 oz. of beef stock


I usually create this the night before, stick it in the fridge overnight, and then pull it out in the morning and place it in my slow cooker

base.  It cooks all day and makes for a nice warm meal when you get home.  

Make sure you place your beef at the bottom of the slow cooker pot.  I then chop up my carrots, potato, and onion and place the ingredients around the outside of the slow cooker around the meat.  I add all the herbs and spices and then dump my stock over top of everything.  

I would let this cook 6-8 hours.  Basically, fix it and forget it.  Once you get home from work all you have to do is grab a bowl.
