A good crockpot recipe -- I take a package, usually about a pound or so of stew beef and put it in the bottom of my crockpot. Then, I empty an envelope of "beef stew" seasoning over the top, put in about a cup and a half of water and a bag of frozen crinkle cut carrots, and slap that baby on. When I return from work, I can either dump in two cans of sliced or diced potatoes, or if I have the time, peel and dice potatoes myself. If the mix is too thin for my taste, I add an envelope of brown gravy, and it's good to go. Cook on high for five hours, or on low for eight or more, depending on how dense you want it to be. I usually serve over rice.
