Ingredients

• 1 pound Stew beef

Directions

Step 1

Dice the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stew beef until it is browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. This will help deepen the flavor.

Layer the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, frozen green beans, frozen corn, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and the bay leaf to the slow cooker.

Step 7

Give everything a gentle stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side for a comforting meal.
