I'm Stewing Over Dinner

Woke up this morning think man I'm sick of my old stew recipe. It's just so boring with carrots, potato, meat, and a touch on onion. There has to be a way to jazz it up some. But I still want to slow cook it in my crock-pot. Hmmm of I go to the web and my iFood app to find a interesting recipe.

Well after a couple of hours I've decided my tried and true sounds best for today. I've read recipes with barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, whiskey, and bourbon additives. There was one were you cook all the meat in Meade or Red Wine for 2 hrs in a process cooker on slow. Sound so time consuming. Then I found recipes with squash, corn, and even leaks. Then there were egg-noodles and dumplings. It got to a point were I wad questioning my sanity. My family has a simple palliate. So back to my simple recipe.

My Recipe:
One 1lb bag baby carrots
Six-eight med red or golden potatoes (11/2 cup cube cut potato)
1/4 cup diced onions
2lbs stew meat
Salt
Pepper
Flour

My madness in crock-pot:
I'm a layer in the big pot. First my baby carrots. Then a layer of diced potatoes. Then 1/3 of the meat browned in skillet with salt and pepper. I like to shake the meat in a bag of flour and seasoning. Then dump in pan with oil. Lightly brown and dump straight in Crock, juice and all. Then another layer of potatoes. Another of browned meat. Finale I layer the onions. If my onions come from my freezer I lightly sauté them. Next add water to cover the meat and then some. Set on low and cook 4-6 hrs.
