Steps:
- Chop up potatoes, parsnips, turnips and carrots into 1 inch cubes. Don't chop them too small - you want big chunky veggies. (if you want, you can also add sweet potatoes or yams too!).
- Put the chopped potatoes, parsnips, turnips and carrots into the bottom of your crockpot, in that order.
- Chop up the beef into approximately 1 inch cubes, and then put it on top of the veggies.
- Squirt some Worcestershire sauce on top of the beef, and then sprinkle the steak spice and crushed garlic over top.
- Chop the onion into big chunks - do not separate the layers - and put them over top of the beef.
- Next cut up the green beans and celery into 1 inch long pieces, and put them on top of the onion.
- Throw the button mushrooms on the top (or you can use large mushrooms cut in half).
- Now mix the two cans of cream of mushroom soup and the 1/2 cup beef or vegetable broth together and dump it over top of the layers.
- Lastly, I put aluminum foil over top of my crockpot, and then the lid because my lid doesn't fit tightly. If you want this to cook up nicely, you don't want to let any of the heat out.
- Cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours.
- Before you eat, ladle out the liquid and put into a pot with the gravy thickener and make a gravy base for the stew (otherwise it will be more soupy).
- While you're making the gravy, throw the frozen peas into the crockpot and stir it up.
- When the gravy is ready, pour it back into the crockpot, stir it all up, and it's ready to be eaten!

SLOW COOKER HEARTY BEEF STEW
I've never been a big fan of beef stew, but I really enjoy this recipe that I got from Cook's Country. The meat comes out fork-tender, the broth is rich and just thick enough to coat a spoon, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. This way of preparing beef stew keeps the vegetables from turning to mush by steaming them on top of the stew in a "hobo pack". The stew is thickened without giving it a starchy texture by using Minute Tapioca. Also, you get a big beefy flavor by slipping in a few tablespoons of soy sauce. It takes a little more prep time, but you can do most of the prep for this recipe the night before the ingredients go into the slow cooker. I think the extra time preparing it is worth it! Just prepare the recipe through step 7 and refrigerate the browned beef and onion mixture in separate containers. In the morning, just transfer everything to the slow cooker and proceed with step 8. The cooking time will run to the high end of the ranges given in the recipe. If you're going to be away from your slow cooker for more than 10 hours, cutting the vegetables into larger, 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces will help them retain their texture.
