Slow Cooker Recipes

Start with about a pound of stew beef, chopped up into bite-sized pieces. Add 3 potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces, about 6 carrots, cleaned and chopped into chunks, two large onions, diced (but not too small), a T of Worcestershire sauce, a sprinkling of garlic powder and an envelope of brown gravy mix (Durkee). I added 4 cups of water, put this sucker on high, and left. 10 hours later, it was done, nice brown sauce, but a little thin. I added my usual thickener of two T of cornstarch dissolved in 1/8 cup water, and let it stand for a little still on high. Voila! Perfect beef stew.
