Slow Cooker Beef And Mushroom Stew
Slow Cooker Beef And Mushroom Stew
Delicious, easy comfort food doesn’t get much better than this slow cooker beef and mushroom stew. You could take the time to brown the meat and sauté the mushrooms and onions, but I find this dish is just as flavorful and is much less fuss when you just throw it all in the Crock-Pot and come back later.
