Beef Stew for 6 Qt. Crock Pot image

I came up with this easy and colorful beef stew recipe for my new crock pot. All you need is fresh beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots, and the rest can come from your pantry. For more richer flavor, I used French onion soup in place of beef broth and added the tomato paste for a little "sweetness" and the Worcestershire sauce for a little "bite."
