BEEF STEW

This is my mother's recipe.  It is perfect for a slow cooker.

2 or 3 lbs. of beef (she used chuck)

2 to 3 onions, halved

2 stalks of celery with tops on, chopped

2 to 3 carrots, cut in bite size pieces

Water and beef bouillon (I use beef consommé when I make this …either works)

Just put everything in the crock pot and let simmer until beef is tender.  Salt and a little pepper work too.  

If you use beef consommé, four cans is good.  Or, use good beef stock (4 cups).   My mother-in-law also made a good beef

stew, adding tomato paste and peas (as seen in picture).  She used the tiny frozen onions instead of fresh.  Your choice.
