Savory Beef Stew (Crock Pot)

Submitted by PalatablePastime

"So easy to make in the crock pot, great for a winter's day. Boomette's thoughtful review has had me reconsider having salt on the ingredient list, so it is removed. You can always use the salt shaker at the table, but you can't take it out, so this is a good move."

I liked it but it was too salty. Next time, I won't put salt and if at the ends, it needs salt, I'll put some. I like the fact that there are lots of veggies.

Wonderful stew - the change I made was using less garlic and instead of 4 regular potatoes I used 2 sweet potatoes and 2 baking potatoes. I probably used about 1/2 cup of peas. Perfect! And I know the leftovers will freeze great as this makes a lot of stew! Thanks for sharing!
