* Using a medium-high flame, brown the beef ….. takes about ten minutes.
* Dump browned beef into crock pot and add all other ingredients.
Gently stir to evenly distribute everything together.
* Cook on HIGH for about two hours and then turn on LOW and continue cooking for another four to six hours..
<span class="ev_code_blue">Notes:….</span>
** I did not add any salt because of the salted peanuts and the package of beef stew dry seasoning mix. I suggest you do a taste test after cooking that first two hours on high and then decide if you want to add salt.
** This amount of ingredients will completely fill a normal size crock pot and will yield between six to nine servings, depending on serving size.
** I wash my potatoes with stiff brush under running cold water and leave skin on … but suit yourself .
** Being a single man, I divide the finished stew into one person servings in freezer baggies and freeze for later in the month.. I get about eight meals from my crock pot.
