BEEF STEW-crock pot

YOU WILL NEED:
(1) Green Pepper Chopped
(1-2) Onions-chopped
(3-4) Carrots-sliced
(3-4) Potatoes diced
(1) Chopped/Crushed Garlic Cloves
(2) Ibs Beef Stew Meat
(1) beef season cube or paste (base measurement on required water as each brand varies)
(2) tsp Paprika
(1/2) tsp Black Pepper


TO FREEZE combine all ingredients on counter top or in large bowl. Seperate into 2 ziplock freezer bags, label and freeze.

TO COOK IN CROCK POT:
*(A) From fresh: combine all above ingrediants into crock pot.
*Add 4 cups water & Cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW in a slow cooker.
*(B) From frozen: optional: remove 24hrs in advance to thaw (it will cook fine without thawing, but if you prefer to set & forget its easier to mix everything from thawed to get it all well blended..)

*Add 4 cups water & Cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW in a slow cooker.
(i think it would still be ok if you skipped the thaw, because there are plenty of store bought freeze to crockpot meals at the market)
