Slow Cooker Beef Stew

It's starting to get warmer here.  Every so often we'll still get a chilly night and it was on just such a night that my husband requested some good ol' fashioned beef stew.  Of course, how could I say no to such a simple request.  Especially when all you do with this recipe is cut up a few things, throw it in a crock pot and wait 6 hours.  Easy.  Delicious!

Add the beef, flour, salt and pepper into your crock pot and stir together so the beef is coated.

Now add the garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce...

Potatoes, I used Yukon Gold.  They're my favorite.

Celery, carrots, onion, beef broth.

Now cover, set the crock pot to high for 4 to 6 hours of cooking, or low for 10 to 12 hours.

After 6 hours, looks yummy.  Smells insane!

I served with some nice hot biscuits.  Enjoy.
