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.
