CandiKaye's Beef and Veggie Stew

Today I made an amazing stew!!  I've always told myself to never wing a recipe, so instead I tend to make things up as I'm cooking.  I will find a recipe I like, and sometimes leave things out or add things to them; today was different not unlike other times I have cooked in the kitchen, but it was a one of a kind type of situation.  I took things we had on hand and made a stew for the books out of them.

Here is the recipe if you want it.  I'm not one to keep an amazing recipe to myself.  I know when one is great enough to share!

CandiKaye's Beef and Veggie Stew

In a crockpot combine:

•2 cups Swanson Beef Broth

•2 cups Beef Broth from Bouillon Cubes

•2 cups Chicken Broth from Bouillon Cubes

•1/2 can Tomato Paste

•1/2 cup - 1 cup Red Wine (I used a Cabernet)

•1 Yellow Onion

•1 sm bag of Small/Medium Red Potatoes

•1 bag Baby Carrots

• 1/2 Stock Celery cut ends & toss 'em

•1 Tablespoon Garlic Salt

•1/4 Teaspoon Italian Seasonings

•2 Teaspoons Pepper

•2 pounds Chuck Tender Steak, 1" cubes

Add veggies and meat; stir to coat all ingredients with juices.  Cook on High setting for 4 hours, check the veggies.  If veggies still have too much crunch for your liking, then turn heat to Warm and leave for another hour or two. Serve* and enjoy!

* To make a full meal instead of just the stew alone, serve with salad and toasted bread of your choice.
