Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 hours to 9 hours 15 minutes
Makes 6 servings
2 pounds beef stew meat
1 package (16 ounces) frozen stew vegetables
1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed golden mushroom soup
2/3 cup Burgundy wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
1. Cut up any large pieces of meat, if necessary. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and cook half the beef over medium heat until browned. Repeat with the remaining beef. Drain off the fat.
2. Place the frozen vegetables in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Top with the meat. In a medium bowl, stir together the soup, wine or broth, water, and tapioca. Pour over the meat and vegetables in the cooker.
3. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
