Ingredients
  

  • 3 onions quartered
  • ½ bag of baby carrots
  • 8- ounce package of button mushrooms
  • 1-1.5 lbs of stew beef mine was 1.3
  • 9 cloves of garlic smashed
  • 4 sweet potatoes halved
  • 2 cups of beef broth

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients in to the crockpot in order. (You can sear the beef first if you like. Searing here in the hotel just wasn't convenient. )
    3 onions, ½ bag of baby carrots, 8- ounce package of button mushrooms, 1-1.5 lbs of stew beef, 9 cloves of garlic, 4 sweet potatoes, 2 cups of beef broth
  • Cover then Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

Notes

  • This older crock pot cooked much slower than mine would have at home. This may be best for 6 hours in a pot that runs hotter.
  • I left the potatoes rather large so they wouldn't turn to mush. I also left them on the top so they would not be submerged in the liquid.
  • I used baby carrots for convenience being in the hotel room. By all means, "regular" carrots would be fine.
