Ingredients

How to make it

  • I cut the stewing meat pieces in half (so it looks like I have more meat) and doused them with flour to help thicken this a little. Put the meat into crockpot. (If you’re using frozen meat, it's fine, just know it’ll take longer to cook and get tender).
  • Add the broth, veggies and spices-float the bay leaf(s) on top along with cinnamon sticks.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 5-6 hours).
  • This stew actually tastes better when you cook it long and slooow.
  • I serve this over a bowl of extra wide (cooked) egg noodles. It's not quite as thick as a beef stew (still working on that) but the flavor (and smell) is amazing.
