All of us were supposed to go to Hershey Park. It rained all day and Hershey actually closed 2 hours early. I cancelled our trip and invited everyone over for beef stew instead.
2 lbs stew meat, rolled in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Browned in a large pot with oil.
4 carrots, diced.
3 stalks celery, diced
5 red potatoes, cubed into about 1 inch pieces.
1 can of green beans, drained
1 onion, large dice
1 large clove of garlic, diced
32 ounces of beef stock. I also added a little water to help cover all the ingredients.
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
dash allspice
Place all of the above ingredients in the crockpot and cook on high about 6 hours.
Do not toss this in the crockpot yet!
2-4 tablespoons cornstarch.
Mix the cornstarch in a measuring cup with some of the hot broth. Add the slurry into the crockpot and let it heat through and thicken slightly.
Serve the beef stew with biscuits and a sprinkle of fresh parsley
