I used baby red potatoes for the first time recently and I think we now prefer it that way! I used 3-4 baby reds for a regular sized potato.

Easy Crockpot Beef StewHi everyone! This easy Crockpot Beef Stew was a last minute idea I had for dinner this week. It’s been cold here (below average) and something cozy and warm from the crockpot just seemed right.

I’ve now made Beef Stew three different ways and I can say this was our favorite and by far the easiest! Just to let you know, we like a little extra potato in ours so I cut up four. If you don’t, just use three. You may want to adjust the beef broth in this case as well.  Here’s my original recipe in case you want to try that as well. 🙂
