Most beef stew recipes seem to be made for big family's or a football team. It's most often just 2 of us here and I like smaller recipes. This makes 4 servings which feeds us one night and leftovers (which are always better tasting than the first servings!) for a few nights later. This recipe is one that I have adapted over time to please our tastes. I hope that you enjoy it as well.

How To Make slow cooker beef stew for 4

1
Layer the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add stew meat; seal and toss to coat evenly. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil in batches. Place over vegetables.

2
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, broth, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme and browning sauce. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on high for 1-1/2 hours. Reduce heat to low; cook 7-8 hours longer or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
