People tend to believe that stews are complicated, but they really aren't. If you use the traditional method, you might need a little more time, but with the help of a slow cooker all you'll need to do is add the ingredients and set it to cook. Besides being a favorite, it's also economical and can satisfy the whole family.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Remember to cut the meat into equal sized chunks so that they cook evenly.
