It's so cold here in Michigan! I think soups and stews are perfect for that kind of weather, so I'm sharing a stew recipe with you today.
Busy Day Beef Stew
1 boneless beef roast (1 -1 1/2 pounds)
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 teaspoons browning sauce, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 cups water
2 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2 " pieces)
6-8 medium carrots, cut into chunks
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
5 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons cold water
Place roast in slow cooker, sprinkle with soup mix, browning sauce, salt and pepper. Pour water over meat. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low.
Remove roast to cutting board; let stand for 5 minutes. Add vegetables to slow cooker. Cube beef and return to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours until vegetables are tender. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into stew. Cover and cook on high for 45 minutes or until thickened.
Yield: 8 - 10 servings

Sounds perfect for a cold New England evening! Thanks!
Oh I may have to try this soon, thanks for sharing it:) Stay warm.
Tasty! I'll bet that smells so wonderful while cooking! It's actually getting "cold" here in SC now, so I may have to try that recipe!
sounds great for a cold day where ever you are.
Brrrrr...I'm still so cold. A hot bowl of stew or soup is just what I need. Thanks for the recipe. I've never heard of browning sauce though. Where do you get it?
Hugs!

Mari,
This sounds delicious. I always enjoy your slow cooking Thursdays. Such great recipes and they're so easy to make in the crockpot.
Hope all is well. Stay warm and safe.
Blessings,
Mary
This is perfect for our below zero weather we are having here in western NY! I'm going to try this!
I've been making lots of soup lately. There's nothing better on a cold day!
Waiting 10 hours to be able to taste this wonderful beef stew would KILL me! I absolutely LOVE Beef Stew. I remember my mother having it in the oven on Mondays. (her wash day!) The aroma alone was simply to die for. It sounds wonderful!
Oh, oh, oh, CORNSTARCH instead of flour! I can eat this one! Hurrah!
Beef stew is soooo yummy with some crusty bread! BTW, It's freezing here too in Chicagoland! CHEERS! Michele
Oh I'm sorry, I think I got a little drool on this post! ;) Num-A-Nums! This sounds perfect, now I need to pick up a roast and make this recipe...:)
I love your slow cooking recipes, I have tried a few and want to try a few more.
Yummo - that sounds delish!
I love this one and bookmarking it...
As far as facebook goes. I'm thinking about doing a Pennies In My Pocket profile. My personal one would be super boring for everyone else because its a bunch of old friends talking about only-hilarious-to-us inside jokes. hahaha Do you think I should do one for Pennies? Be honest. :)

That sounds yummy and it's hotter 'n blazes here :-) But yeah, I'm hearing from all my Indiana and Michigan buddies about the arctic blast and piles of snow. Not missin' it!
That sounds SO good Mari, Yum!
I fixed this for dinner last night. Then made a pot of vegetable beef soup with the left overs. Yumm Eee
Mari - I think you will be my friend forever. I love slow cooker meals. In my world, no one wants to see a house during the day . . . . everyone want to look at night . . .when I'm suppose to be cooking dinner for my family!! This will work!! Thank you so much!
