Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine seasoning mix, water, and flour and whisk together in slow cooker pot.

2. Add all remaining ingredients to slow cooker.

3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until beef cubes are cooked through, and veggies are at desired tenderness. Stir occasionally. (Cook on high for 4 hours)

If stew is too runny, combine 2 tablespoons of flower with 2 tablespoons of water and whisk until made into a paste. Add to stew, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Makes 25 1-cup servings. Since it is such a large batch, you can freeze some of it to eat at a later date.
