Slow-Cooker Beef and Potato Stew image

I used vegetables from the farmers market and just started creating this delicious and spicy stew! It's very easy to put together and very tasty! If you like fresh garlic you can add 2 cloves to meat while browning. For a less-spicy option, remove jalapeno seeds.
