I'm looking for a FAVORITE beef stew recipe of my friends from CS. I'm going to try Teresa's tomato macaroni this weekend and would really like to make a stew next week. I've tried two in the past and both were just 'okay'. I'd like it medium in consistency, not soupy, not like chili but want flavor! I've never had a GREAT homemade beef stew with nice dark gravy and great seasonings!
I know it's just stewing beef, carrots, potatoes, celery and spices but what spices? And how to not have it too runny? What seasonings? How long after cooking the meat do I add the veggies? I'm hoping to be able to assemble this at night and put in a crockpot, turn on low in the morning and have ready when we all get home. Or would the veggies be soggy then, or the meat not cooked?
HELP! I also need measurements because I'm a baker not a cook (can you tell? LOL) so measurements is the key! If it's a dash of this, dash of that I'm a mess (and so is the recipe!)
Anyone?
