Directions
Using a large crock-pot, peel potatoes and cut them into small enough pieces for kids to manage. Drain the liquid from canned green beans and add them to pot. Add a pound of fresh baby carrots to pot. Add a quart of beef stock to pot. Peel a large, sweet onion and cut it into quarters or smaller pieces before adding it to pot. Add 2 tsp kitchen bouquet and mix well. Add stew beef to pot. If you prefer, beef can be lightly browned on stove top before placing beef and all juices into pot. Otherwise, beef can be added raw.
Seal lid on crock-pot and cook on low overnight. Reduce heat to warm setting the next morning, if you plan on having stew for dinner that night. If pressed for time, meal may be prepared on high heat setting, but be careful to not burn ingredients or boil stew dry.
