Crockpot Crockpot Beef Stew I

Ingredients:
2 lbs. stew beef
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. paprika
4 lg. carrots
3 lg. potatoes
1 c. condensed beef broth
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. soy sauce
1 lg. onion
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)

Directions:
Layer potatoes, then carrots. Top with meat; sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt,
paprika, pepper & flour.
Spread with chopped onions. Combine beef broth & tomato sauce & pour overall. Cover
& cook on low 7 - 8 hrs. or high 4 - 5 hrs.
NOTES:
Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper & flour as the
recipes says, I mix those all together in a small bowl. This prevents the flour
from becoming clumpy.
-Instead of chopped onions, I use 3 or 4 small yellow onions whole (I'm not an
onion fan but still like the taste they give the stew.)
-I add about 1/4 cup barbecue sauce to the top, before putting the cover on. I use
whatever variety of sauce that I have on hand. I don't usually buy the "regular"
flavor of any brand, but instead have hickory, brown sugar or garlic and onion
flavors. The BBQ sauce adds an extra "kick" to the meat and gravy.
-For the beef broth, since I don't usually keep that on hand, I dissolve 1 beef
bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling water.
