For an even richer flavor, brown the stew meat in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding it to the slow cooker. Consider adding other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or green beans to customize your stew. A splash of red wine vinegar or Worcestershire sauce can add depth to the flavor. If you prefer a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry and stir it into the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Dec 11, 2024I found the soup mix a little too salty for my taste, so I reduced it by half and added some extra herbs instead.
