My First Beef Stew

I did it! I made my first beef stew and if I can do it, so can you!

Ingredients :

-2 lbs. beef stew chunks
-1/2 cup flour
-1 1/2 cup beef broth
-1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
-1 tsp. paprika
-4-5 carrots peeled and sliced into circles
-3 red potatoes diced into chunks (with skin)
-1 large onion chopped (i used a white onion)
-1-2 stalks of celery chopped
-1 bay leaf
-3 oz. tomato paste
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-1 1/2 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. pepper

Mix It Up:

-Place thawed meat in crock pot.

-Mix flour, salt and pepper and sprinkle all over meat and stir.

-Add all other ingredients, stir, mixing well.

-Cook on Low 8-12 hrs.

The key is serving this with crusty Italian bread for dipping! If you prefer your stew thick, you can add more flour. I read the ingredients wrong and added 1 cup of flour more than I needed, but it still came out delicious! Don't be afraid change recipes to your taste. And ALWAYS remember to taste as you go!
