Provencal Beef Stew (In Crock Pot) image

This if from the WW site, and I've added a few ingredients, which don't change the point value, which is 4 per serving. If you aren't on a diet, this is still really good. The pureed beans make the stew very hearty.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean stewing beef
cooking spray, 1 spray
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 large carrots, sliced
15 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup beef broth
14 1/2 ounces canned diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato (rinsed)
1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the beef in your crock pot, on high heat.
  • Add onion, mushrooms and garlic to a 12" non-stick skillet and saute over medium high heat for 5 minutes, or until soft. Stir occasionally. Add to the crock pot.
  • Add carrots.
  • Place the beans in a blender or food processor, with the broth, and blend until pureed. Add to the crock pot.
  • Add all remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours. Garnish with fresh thyme.
  • I served this over spinach, but it would be nice in a big bowl with some lovely French bread!
