This recipe is SO easy to make, just takes a little bit of prep work.  I toss mine in the slow cooker and it's extra tender by dinner, but I know others have made it on the stovetop and had it turn out wonderfully too.

*Egg, Dairy, Soy and Nut Free*

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef, browned

1 onion

1 can tomato soup (check ingredients for allergens)

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup ketchup

1 Tbsp mustard

2 tsp worcestershire sauce

1-2 tsp salt

1-2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp garlic, minced

Instructions:

Brown ground beef, put into slow cooker.
Add add chopped onion.
Add all other ingredients and give a good stir.

Cook on low for 7-8 hours.  Serve on home made dinner rolls, along with a salad or another favorite side!

***I also tend to put as many veggies into our meals, I added carrots and celery to tonights meal, and did not even get a complaint from the littles about it!***

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Ingredients:
*package of stewing beef, or as I did, leftover roast beef chopped into bite sized pieces
*Whatever raw veggies you want to add, I used onions, red pepper, celery, carrots & potatoes.  Just chop them up and throw them in.
*We are a garlic loving family, so I chopped up some fresh garlic and put it in as well.
*One tetra pack of Campbells Beef Broth (it's dairy, soy and egg free).
*Add enough water to almost cover the meat and veggies.

*Set crock pot on low for 8 hours.  Closer to the end of the cooking time, make a past using either flour and water, or corn startch and water and add it to thicken the stew up.

Add salt and pepper as needed and enjoy!
