Beef Stew

This was so simple and so good on a cold day.

1 lb of stew meat
1/2 bag baby carrots
3 medium potatoes-cut up
1 pks of beef stew seasoning

Add everything to crock pot and add as much water as the seasoning packet says. Cook on low for about 7-8 hrs.

What a great idea!

Have you tried Ziploc's zip n' steam bags? If no...omg you are missing out! I bought some after my mom told me how good and easy they were. I love them. I made potatoes one night. Its so easy it comes with a little book of different ideas for things you can make. You can go to the website and they have even more things to make. These are a must have in our house now!

AdamsWife's Chili
