another crock pot wonder

November 16, 2007

Oh crock pot, how I love thee on a cold autumn day when I am lazy and in need of a no fuss meal. I have never been a huge fan of stew, but when I saw this recipe over at Good Things Catered I was intrigued and knew I had to try it. It just looks so…tasty. I modified the original recipe for the crockpot and subbed beef broth for red wine, I’ve posted my version below. This was a delicious stew, I’m sad I left town after I made it and wasn’t able to enjoy the leftovers!

    Isn’t it the best! I totally make it at least 4 times a year. So good. Too bad you didn’t get leftovers, though. :(
