Kelly's Beef Stew
"Don't be put off by the ingredient list. This really is an easy dish (particularly for those with crockpots) which you can freely substitute on with whatever you have on hand. (Made all the more tasty if you add 1/2 cup of Bisto gravy granuals along with the Oxo.)"

This is a very good beef stew recipe. I used venison, but same basic taste. I had never dredged and browned the meat before. This step made a wonderful texture and gravy to the stew. The flavor was wonderful. I added a can of beef consomme...very rich flavor. My family LOVED it! Thanks!!!! P.S. The crockpot works well with this!!!
