Beef Stew

Last night we had beef stew. It was delicious and all the kids ate it. I know this isn't really a dish that most people consider making and serving in April. But it's been more like winter here than spring this week. (We woke up to at least 7 inches.) So it really hit the spot. Here's the recipe:

Beef Stew

Ingredients:
3 lbs. stew meat
1 large onion, diced
2 packets beefy onion soup mix
3 cans (14-1/2 oz.) beef broth
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
4 large baking potatoes, cut into large chunks
5 large carrots, sliced
1/3 cup Wondra flour

Directions:
Brown stew meat and onion in frying pan. In large mixing bowl, combine soup mix, beef broth, & mushroom soup. Add meat and onions to crock pot (at least 6 quart) and pour soup mixture over the top. Cook on high for 6 hours. When there are four hours of cooking time remaining, add the potatoes and carrots. Before serving, thicken with Wondra flour mixed with a small amount of water. (Add water a tablespoon at a time until the flour and water mixture is the consistency of heavy cream.)
