I am pleased to introduce this week's featured chef, Sharon Baughman. Sharon is a fantastic cook as well as a wife, mother, aunt and friend :) With cooler weather finally here, this week's tasty recipe is sure to warm up your family's table!

Beef Stew (Crockpot)

From: Sharon Baughman

1 can French Onion soup

1 can Golden Mushroom soup

1 can Beefy Mushroom Soup - (I never find this, so I either use a can of Cream of Onion soup or a second can of Golden Mushroom soup)

1 can water (I usually buy a can of Beef Consomme and use in place of water)

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 tsp pepper

2 1/2 lbs beef stew meat

2 bags Frozen Veggies for Stew

In large crackpot, mix together soups, water, breadcrumbs and pepper. I also mix in a little (1 tsp or so) Kitchen Bouquet. Add stew meat and stir to coat. Add frozen veggies on top and cook on low for 8-9 hrs. 

Hint: Sometimes I cook on high for 2 hours and then turn down to low for remaining 5-6 hrs.
