APPLE CIDER BEEF STEW

Apple Cider Beef Stew image

I created this slow cooker recipe using convenience products to save time chopping vegetables and browning beef. Apple cider and cinnamon are the unique additions that give a down-home flavor to this oh-so-easy and economical stew. It also makes a rich, flavorful potluck dish for holiday gatherings or on busy school nights. -Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California
