bigslick's chowder thread got me thinking about one of my family's cold weather favorites. Beef stew. And it doesn't get any easier than this...

I start about lunchtime to have it ready for supper.

In a crock pot put in 1 15oz. can of small whole potatoes, small handful of baby carrots, and a large sweet onion. I cut the onion into about eight pieces. Sprinkle with McCormick's Worcestershire pepper.

Brown a couple pounds of lean beef in a couple tablespoons of oil (use bacon grease if you have it.) Toss in crock pot. Sprinkle with McCormick's Worcestershire pepper.

Mix 2 cups of boiling water with a packet of McCormick's Au Jus mix. Pour in crock pot. Add another 15oz. can of small whole potatoes, and a few more baby carrots. Sprinkle on some more pepper and pour about 1/4 cup of A1 Steak Sauce over top.

Set the crock pot on high. Go watch the ballgames and catch a nap. 4-5 hours later, come back and set your crock pot on "Keep Warm" (if your pot doesn't have that setting use Low) for the last hour or so.

That looks good. Is there a reason to use canned potatoes instead of whole?

I totally meant to grab some of the worcestershire pepper yesterday when I shopped and then forgot dammit...

Time saver. No peeling, etc. I'm lazy.
