Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

On busy days, Grandma made this stewed beef in the slow cooker. She browned the beef according to the recipe directions, layered the ingredients as directed in a slow cooker, then covered it and cooked the mixture on LOW for 6 hours. She served this dish with plenty of corn bread for soaking up the pan juices.
