Ergo, I can say this...IMHO this is the best Beef Stew I have ever made! The potatoes were soft, the carrots were tender. I put just enough onion in the cooker. The beef was cut up into perfectly sized cubes...And I added the Peas just one hour before the whole deal was scheduled to be done.
The slow cooker was operating from 10AM 'til 6PM. I offered a bowl of stew to:
- Timmy
- Maureen
- Keelan
- Maura
They all turned me down...Timmy instead had a Peanut Butter & Jelly Hoagie on a soft roll, Maureen had some cookies that Keelan baked on this snowy day, Keelan asked me for a Diet Coke and some Twizzlers, while Maura was searching her I-phone for Gluten Free Delivery service...
