This is the easiest beef stew ever because you just toss everything straight into the slow cooker. You can definitely sauté the garlic and onions beforehand, but they’ll flavor the stew regardless.

You can throw this dish together after lunch, put it in the slow cooker, and it will be perfect come game time. Leftovers are even better the next day. — Erin Swing
