Crock Pot Meals

This crock pot beef stew is very easy to put together and you should have all the ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry.

1 1/2 pounds (650g) of round steak, cut into 1 inch cubes

16 oz (400g) can tomatoes

1/2 cup red wine or beef broth

1 tblsp tomato paste

1 tblsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt & black pepper to taste

1 small carrot, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 green bell pepper thinly sliced

1 small grated onion

2 bay leaves (optional)

1/4 tsp thyme and oregano

1/4 pound (120g) fresh mushrooms, sliced

Turn on the crock pot to high and spray with some non stick spray .  Put the steak into the pot, add everything else except the mushrooms and then stir gently.  Put the lid on and turn the heat down to low and cook for 8 hours.   Add the mushrooms in the last 1/2 hour of cooking. You can thicken with cornflour or potato flour about the same time.  Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Serve with rice or mashed potato.  Serves 4
