Slow Cooker Hearty Beef Stew

• 3 carrots, peeled, sliced
• 3 potatoes, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, sliced
• 2 lbs stewing beef, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons browning sauce

1. arrange vegetables in a slow cooker -- top with beef chunks.set aside.
2. mix flour, salt, pepper and sprinkle over meat.
3. stir well -- add remaining ingredients.
4. cover, heat on low setting for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours --
5. remove and discard bay leaf.
6. You know I find it easy to convert any favorite stre recipe from stove top to slow cooker -- if it usually simmmers 35-45 minutes.that equals 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high -- Recipes that cook 1-3 hours will be done in 8-12 hours on low or 4-6 on high.at least that is what I use as a guideline.
