Beef Stew

For real this time!

Lean, boneless stew beef, cut in small pieces
Potatoes, sliced
Carrots, sliced
Green beans, cut n trimmed
Onion, chopped
MBT, or whatever bullion/stock/broth you want - not in the mood for the cream of mushroom/cream of celery/tomato soup blend. Also not in the mood for the seasoning game..

Toss it all in the crock pot and go do something else..
(I also can't wait to get MY crockpot back out..)
Come back later and find:

Starch from the potato really thickens it enough that you don't need a flour slurry or anything..

Pot Roast

Pot Roast is the bastard cousin of Beef Stew. If I had chosen to put everything in the crock pot and not just the meat and gravy, that's what I would have had..

London broil

onion soup mix (another soup tie in!)
flour/water

campbell's cream of mushroom (another another tie in!)

ketchup

shake of liquid smoke.

left all day... ~8+ hours..

w/ cream corn, egg noodles, and candied carrots.
