Slow Cooker Beef Stew is truly very remarkable. It is convenient and comforting. Packed with delicious flavors all in one bowl, and made in a slow cooker.

I love that you can put everything in a slow cooker and after searing the meat and sautéing the onions, celery and garlic, you can let it slow cook for a few hours. When you come home, your dinner is ready.
