Years ago I wanted a from scratch Beef Stew. I started putting everything I could find in my kitchen into a crock pot, added spices and then let it cook all day. My roommate at the time loved it and made me make it at least once a month. Now my husband and son want it all the time too.

Ingredients:

2 lbs round steaks (cut in bite sized pieces)

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 cups potatoes (cut in bite sized pieces)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen or canned)

1 cup cut green beans (fresh, frozen or canned)

1 cup carrot (sliced)

1 cup celery (sliced)

1 large onion (cut in bite sized wedges)

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons mesquite flavored fajita seasoning mix

1 cup water (use more to make as thin as you like)

salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot using 1 cup of water to start.
2. Turn on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours.
3. During cooking time check the stew and if necessary, add more water.
4. Serve with crackers.
