This Beef Stew has a wonderful herb taste to it. The only change I made was add quick cooking Tabioca to the broth to thicken it and cook it in the crockpot. In my house, I am considered the Crockpot Queen. LOL. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs boneless chuck roast, cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
