McCormick Slow Cooker Beef Stew

2 pounds beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes

 1 package McCormick® Slow Cookers Hearty Beef Stew Seasoning

1 1/3 cups water

 2 cups potato chunks (I used 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut up)

2 cups carrot chunks

 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges

 1/2 cup sliced celery, optional

Place beef and vegetables in slow cooker. 

Mix Seasoning Mix and water until blended. Pour over beef and vegetables; toss to coat well. Cover. 

Cook 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Stir. Makes 4-6 serving. 

Note:  For more broth, I used an extra cup of water.

Note:  I pressured the meat and onions in the instant pot for 10 minutes, then put everything else in, and slow cooked on normal for 4 hours, or till potatoesand carrots are done.
