Stew Recipe anyone?

[Emzalot]

Hello all!

I have one of the Schwartz beef casserole packet mixes, diced beef, onion, carrots, peas, tinned tomatoes...

Am I right in thinking I just put all this in my slow cooker and cook for around 10 hours (low? high?) I will get a scrumptious stew?

Anything else I should add? I'm worried it may be too watery, if so, can I thicken up with some smash?

Thanks in advance

I put loads of veg in my stews - turnip, parsnips, carrot, onion, sweet potato, normal potatoes, onion, garlic and then some herbs too.

Unless the packet is specifically made for slow cooker I would use half the quoted liquid. In a slow cooker there is nowhere for the liquid to evaporate to so you need to use less

I use 2 oxo's and about 1 pint of liquid, carrots, swede, parsnips, onions and a couple of potatoes cut into chunks - the veg naturally thicken the stew, no need to add thickening.
