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.
