SAVORY BEEF STEW (CROCK POT)

Savory Beef Stew (Crock Pot) image

So easy to make in the crock pot, great for a winter's day. Boomette's thoughtful review has had me reconsider having salt on the ingredient list, so it is removed. You can always use the salt shaker at the table, but you can't take it out, so this is a good move.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN STEW

Slow Cooker Chicken Stew image

A savory autumn stew with apple, red potatoes, onion and seasoning. This is a very easy tasty chicken dish I concocted when I was trying to think of a dish like pot roast yet using chicken rather than beef. My husband hates mushrooms, so I tried condensed celery soup, and it works great. This dish is light yet very zesty and full of flavor. You can substitute using chicken thighs, but it will increase calories and fat. I think using biscuit gravy mix rather than onion gravy mix would work (the flavor would go well with chicken), adding richness, although I haven't tried it that way yet, but again, it would add more fat and calories to this dish. Serve with a side of rice or over noodles.
