Before I start... I need to take this moment, to share a Public Service Announcement.
DO NOT forget your crock pot overnight, on a low simmer. The mess I just cleaned up was icky guck and I did not enjoy the last 10 minutes of my life. hahaha.
Okay, now on to the post.
I wasn't feeling so hot last night- so after dinner I went to bed. Hence, the later post. What a YUM dinner I had!!
I made the Crock Pot Beef Stew from Six Sisters' Stuff.
The recipe is as follows:
Hearty Beef Stew
Ingredients:
1 pound beef stew cubes
4 carrots, sliced
4 red potatoes, cut into large cubes
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 cans 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (10 oz) package frozen green peas
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag.
Mix together and zip bag closed.
When ready to eat, remove from freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours.
Cook on LOW for 7-10 hours (or HIGH for 5-6 hours).

So.... I had to sort of manipulate this freezer bag into my crock pot- because I didn't have a lot of room.
Six Sisters DID say they put the recipe in two separate bags... I suggest that as well. It cooked up to me SO MUCH MORE than we could eat..... and then of course I left it on all night and its this uck of a mess. Sadly, no leftovers :(
I cooked the stew for about 9 hours, as I feel soup does better for longer periods of time.
It was really good. My husband doesn't care for larger veggies (I think I have mentioned this is an ongoing fight for many years, in that I LOVE larger veggies)...... he wanted me to cut them smaller.
Overall.. this was a keeper recipe.
SQUISHY'S KITCHEN GRADE: I give this an B+. My husband gave it a B-. SOOOO by our powers combined... let's say it's a B. It was really good. I liked it a lot, great heart soup. I think I would add celery and onion to it next time, and that would up it to an A for me.
Short post.. because, well- I am off to enjoy my Saturday with some friends. :)
Bye interwebs.
