This is a beef stew for the slow cooker that I came up with after quite a bit of trial and error attempting to improve upon other recipes. My husband Diego was my critic each time and finally he chose this as the winner. It has a LOT of onion :-)

  • 1 pound cubed beef stew meat

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
