Crock Pot Beef Stew

Crock pots are the best. I love my crock pot, except for the fact that my cat once knocked the lid off the kitchen counter and broke the handle off. So now every time I take the lid off the crock pot I burn myself. After turning to the internet I found that a new replacement lid is the same price as a whole new crock pot. So I have not found it in me to get an entirely new device when I have a perfectly functional one. Cats are why you can't have nice things.

This is one of my favorite meals and it's stupid easy. Just dump, stir, and let cook all day. I think the recupe came from someone in my family, so if you're reading this, thank you! It was originally called "Beef Boogie Woogie" which is the stupidest name ever so I changed it. Anyway, whatever you feel like calling it, it's delicious.

Crock Pot Beef Stew
  • 1 pkg stew meat
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 pkg sliced cremini mushrooms (sometimes I add 2 pkgs cause I love mushrooms)
  • 1 packet beefy onion soup mix 
  • 2-3 cups baby carrots (I leave them whole)
  • 1 cup red wine (the stronger the better) 
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • pepper
Dump all ingredients together in the crockpot and stir to combine. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally. I like to serve over egg noodles but mashed potatoes or rice would work too.
