Beef Stew

I'm not going to lie, this was not one of my best adventures as of late. There wasn't a whole lot of 'soup/stew'ie-ness to this dish. It was carrots, potatoes and beef with a light sauce over it. The flavors were good, but nothing spectacular. I might make it again, but with smaller chopped potatoes and depending on how it looks when it goes into the slow cooker, another can of soup or beef broth. Give it a try with some modifications and let me know how it goes!
