This recipe was in the book that came with our first Crock Pot. It has been years since we made it last, so I forgot all the customizations we made to it. (We should have written them down.) Here is the recipe from the book:
* 1.5 to 2 pounds stew beef, cut in 1-inch cubes * 4 to 5 carrots, sliced * 1 small onion, diced * 2 to 3 stalks celery, sliced * 28oz can tomatoes * 1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca * 2 bay leaves * salt and pepper to taste
Trim all fat from meat. Put all ingredients in Crock Pot and mix. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours (high: 4 to 5 hours).
Here are my notes:
We cooked on low for 9 hours, which makes the beef nice and soft.
Pictured is about 1.9 pounds of beef.
We made it with 4 carrots (about right), 3 stalks celery (not enough), and a whole medium onion (came to about 1.5 cups, which is about right). Ideally, I think equal amounts of carrots and celery would work better. Like 2 cups each.
The next time we make it, we plan to add 2 cups of peas and maybe potatoes.
