Expert Tips

Tip 1
Tip: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature. Total time will vary with appliance and setting.
Tip 2
Substitution: Shiitake mushrooms add a wonderful, rich flavour to this easy beef stew. If they aren't available, you can use 2 cups of sliced regular white mushrooms.
Tip 3
Success : To make sure everything is done at the same time, cut the meat and vegetables into the sizes specified in the recipe.
