Beef Ragu image

Many slow-cooker recipes require a lot of time for preparation: browning meat, finely mincing vegetables, then washing pots and pans before putting everything in the slow cooker. This one does not. We used pre-cut stew meat, a jar of tomato sauce and coarsely chopped pepper and carrots, and the result was a nice thick sauce to put over pasta, couscous or polenta - from the Washington Post.

1/2 cup minced onion
