CrockPot Beef Stew

CrockPot Beef Stew. Before and after. DELICIOUS!!! Here is the recipe. My apologies for not adding. 2# beef stew meat. Combine 2c flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Mix to your liking. Coat the beef with mixture. Sauté/brown in veg oil in pan. No need to cook thru. Remove from pan. In pan add 16oz beef broth. Bring to a boil. Add small can of tomato paste to thicken broth. Put potato chunks, carrots, onions and celery in CP. Top with beef. Then add broth. Mix. If not enough broth, I added a brown gravy mixture or you can add more broth. Cook low and slow for 6-8 hours. YUMMY!!!

UPDATE For corned beef hash I put one tin of corned beef chopped into small pieces, one onion chopped fine, around five or six potatoes cut into chunks, one carrot cut into chunks (optional), water (enough to almost cover the ingredients), three Oxo cubes (beef stock cubes) and some white pepper. Leave on low. Served with mushy peas, beetroot and crusty bread….. yummy.

My son was home from university and after pots and pans as he didn’t have enough. Suddenly he screams! I thought he had found a rodent in the cupboard so I go running in. He stands up and is holding an old slow cooker which he proceeded to raise up like something out of the lion king. “Oh my word, can I have this?”. Apparently, it’s the most fabulous thing. He now has corned beef hash cooking nicely. Who would have thought a slow cooker could have brought such happiness to a 19 year old. Haha

Chicken kebab.
2 breasts slice in half lengthways then half again.
Whole pot of natural yoghurt, add paprika, garlic granules, mixed herbs (I also threw in some fresh parsley).
Pour mix over the chicken and leave to marinade, overnight is ideal.
Slow cook on low (roughly 5 hours, more or less depending if you want dry or juicy chicken but make sure it is cooked)
Serve diced up with pitta bread (we went for wraps) with some salad, sauce and sides.
Absolutely delicious.
