Beef Stew

Or soup, or just roasted beef and veggies...

Ingredients: 


Beef chuck
Baby reds
Carrots
Broccoli
Garlic (or powder)
Chopped onion
Beef broth
Green beans
Rosemary
Thyme
Pepper

 Directions:


 Throw meat in the crock pot first with just the onions.  As it cooks add the veggies and seasonings.  Depending on type they will cook slower or faster.  Carrots, fresh green beans, and whole or halved baby reds take longest (at least 5-6 hours).  Broccoli, frozen beans, frozen carrots, and smaller cut baby reds only need a couple hours.  For the last 2 hours or so add the gravy and broth (both are optional, broth makes it more of a soup, gravy more of a stew, or neither more of just roasted meat and veggies.  Add amounts as you wish it).

Make sure you fully stir the meat on the bottom at some point, I've noticed without stirring it well the beef can remain super pink and uncooked looking.  Might be fine, but I'm a pink meat phobe.
