The snow just keeps on falling... which in my world means the slow cooker must keep on cooking! There's just something cozy about the smells and warmth a slow cooker gives off all day that I just love.
Today I was craving some good hearty beef. I found some beef stew meat in the freezer and this meal was born. Similar to a beef stew, but with more meat and mushrooms and less 'gravy'... perfect for a cold snowy day!
