Bachelor Beef Stew


This week, the Wheel of Meals landed on Soups/Stews

I decided to make a slow cooker recipe since I was short on time, and with temperatures below zero, you can't go wrong with a hearty beef stew.  Jeremy liked the name of this recipe and we went with it.  He was disturbed because the original recipe said to microwave the onions first, but I said it wasn't necessary if it was going in the slow cooker for 10 hours.  It came out fine.  We liked it.
