Ingredients

For the Beef and Potatoes

2 pounds beef stew meat
1.5 pounds baby potatoes If potatoes are very thick, you may want to cut them in half so they cook evenly.
1 packet onion soup mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
4 tablespoons butter
0.5 cup water or beef broth

For the Last Hour

1 pound green beans trimmed You can use frozen or canned beans in place of fresh. Or, serve beans or a different veggie on the side.
2 tablespoons butter optional

Equipment

slow cooker

Method

Spray the bottom of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the beef and potatoes to the slow cooker.
Season with the onion soup mix, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic.
Add the butter and water or broth.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
In the last hour or two of cooking, add the green beans and additional butter if desired. This prevents them from becoming too soggy.
