Crockpot Beef Stew 🤎 Ingredients 2 lbs beef stew meat 1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder & buttery garlic & herb ½ tsp each thyme & black pepper ¼ cup flour (or more if you like a thick gravy)  2 tbsp cornstarch 3 tbsp butter 2 tbsp tomato paste 3 cups beef broth (or water + 1 tbsp Knorr beef bouillon) 2 celery stalks, chopped 3 large carrots, sliced 1 large onion, diced 1 bag baby potatoes 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 bay leaves Extra buttery garlic & herb seasoning Mashed Potatoes 4 russet potatoes, peeled & cubed ½ cup butter ⅔ cup milk Splash of heavy cream 1 tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp garlic powder Instructions 1. Season beef with garlic powder, onion powder, buttery garlic & herb, thyme, and pepper. Add flour and cornstarch, tossing until fully coated. 2. Melt butter in a hot skillet and sear beef until browned. Transfer to your crockpot. I used my 10-in-1 cooker to sear and slow cook in one pot! 3. Add tomato paste, broth, celery, carrots, onion, potatoes, onion soup mix, Worcestershire, bay leaves, and extra seasoning. Stir to combine. 4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or until beef is fall-apart tender. Remove bay leaves before serving. 5. For the mashed potatoes, boil potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until creamy. 6. Serve your beef stew over a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes and enjoy! 🤎 #EasyRecipe #crockpot #slowcooker #easydinner #DinnerIdeas - @caitlynskitchen
