Wild Mushroom Beef Stew

This is a great recipe that can be made in the crock pot. In fact I found this in the recipe booklet that came in the box with the crock pot. That’s a great way to find excellent recipes. Always check the little booklets they give you with any kitchen appliances, you can find some really great stuff in there. Matt really loves this stew, he says it reminds him of “winter”.


2 lbs beef stew meat (cut in 1 in. cubes)
1/8 cup flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire
1 clove garlic minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp paprika
4 shitake mushrooms sliced (or more if you love mushrooms like me)
2 carrots sliced
2 med potatoes diced
1 onion chopped
1 stalk celery chopped

Combine beef, flour, salt, and pepper in a ziplock bag and shake to coat all the pieces of meat with flour. Pour seasoned beef in the crock pot. Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot and mix well. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or high for 5 hours.
