Crockpot Beef Stew and Vegetables

3 pounds of stew beef

5 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

4 carrots, peeled and sliced



1 envelope dry onion soup mix

1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1 tablespoon bacon bits

3 tablespoons brown sugar



3 cups water



2 cups of frozen peas



Spray crockpot lightly with cooking oil. Then add stew beef, potatoes and carrots.

In a medium saucepan add next 8 ingredients and heat on medium heat and stir until well blended. Pour this mixture over the stew beef and vegetables. Then add 3 cups of water.

Heat according to your slow cooker's directions. I cook mine on low for about 12 hours. Approximately 1 hour before serving add frozen peas to the pot.



Enjoy!
