Todays' Taste Temptation is.... Crock Pot Beef Stew. Very easy to make, and quite yummy. Goes well with a simple tossed salad and perhaps some rolls (and some red wine if you have any left over). :)
Take one package of stew beef and rinse it off and pat dry. Take a large baggie (that zips shut) and into the baggie place 1/2 cup flour, a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt and pepper, 1/4 tsp of chili powder and a little thyme. Add the stew beef, close the baggie and shake. Coat the beef evenly with the flour, then pour into crock pot. Add a couple of potatoes cut into cubes, a couple of carrots and celery, also cubed, and onions cut into quarters (or eights) until crock pot is full. Pour in 1 - 1 1/2 cups of red wine (and remember- never cook with anything you wouldn't drink). Turn on crock pot and let cook the recommended time (My cooker's book says Low= 10 to 12 hours while High= 4 to 6). Stir to prevent sticking on the bottom, but otherwise leave it alone. :)
This started as a cookbook recipe and I've been adding to it everytime I make it. So if you think something sounds good, give it a try. Enjoy!

This sounds interesting, from someone that got tired of stew...
I've just put up a very complicated recipe for this week!!
Hey, you can't go wrong with PB & J. :)
Great recipe. I'm all about the crock pot. I've never tried a stew in it. I'm going to have to try this. :)
Crock Pot stews are really good. I also like crock pot chicken, use the same veggies with your chicken and pour in white wine instead of red. Chicken and dumplings doesn't work as well, though, I think for that a oven cassarole dish would work. :)
Yum, a great dish for a gloomy winter day!
I was just thinking to rescue my crock pot from summer storage. The snow outside is deepening so my craving for a good stew is kicking in.
Hi Joely and Wylie- I've got more crock pot recipes, I'll post those throughout the winter (it's also good for summertime cooking too- it doesn't heat up the kitchen as much as the oven).
