This slow cooker beef stew is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it meal. While you can skip the browning step if you're short on time, taking those extra minutes adds incredible depth of flavor to the final dish. The slow cooking process transforms tough beef cuts into tender, melt-in-your-mouth morsels surrounded by vegetables and a rich gravy.

Serve this hearty stew with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious gravy. Leftovers taste even better the next day and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
