SLOW COOKER SPANISH BEEF STEW

Slow Cooker Spanish Beef Stew image

I have never heard a complaint of my beef stew, it's a great new take on an old favorite! I prefer to serve stew over white rice, it all depends on your taste. You can season the beef with a packet of Sazon instead of salt and pepper, for even more Spanish style.
