Crockpot Beef Stew

My slow cooker is my savior. I'm in the car for three hours a day due to my commute and my crock pot is the only thing saving me from going through a drive thru every day. Today it's beef stew. I love a good beef stew on a cold day. The beef is wonderfully tender after cooking all day in the slow cooker and the flavors and aromas of the veggies and spices is the best thing to walk in the door to after a long day at work.

If you haven't purchased Reynolds slow cooker liners, yet, you're missing out! The only thing I hate about the slow cooker is the mess afterwards and these slow cooker liners make that a non-issue. I highly recommend going out and getting these before your next crock pot meal!
