SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to slow cooker EXCEPT the flour and 1 tablespoon each of the thyme and rosemary. If you prefer firmer vegetables, do not add them until the last 1-2 hours of cooking. You can add them now but they will be softer. Cook on low heat for 8 hours.
• If you left out the vegetables at the beginning, add them in the last 1-2 hours of cooking.
• About 1 hour before stew is done cooking, remove 1/2 cup of broth. Whisk 2 tablespoons of flour into the broth until there are no lumps. You can add more broth if it gets too thick. Once mixed, pour the flour mixture into the crock pot and stir to mix. Continue cooking until done.
• Right before serving, remove the bay leaves. Add the 1 tablespoon of thyme and rosemary. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
