Super-Duper Easy Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Dredge beef cubes in salted and peppered flour, then brown lightly in hot oil over medium heat on stovetop. Remove meat and add to your crock pot. Add the onions, carrots and potatoes to the crock pot, then the V-8 juices to cover. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, or high for 6 hours. Serve in bowls with crusty bread to soak up gravy!

Note: the first time I made this, I wasn’t sure about using all spicy V-8, so I did half-and-half. The second time, I used all spicy, and by the time it was done, the stew was not spicy-hot, and had a great flavor. It was even better the next day! You can adjust the amount of onion, potatoes and carrots to suit your individual taste, or add other vegetables as you like.
