Slow Cooker Beef Stew – This is my go to weekend Beef Stew;  it cooks in the slow cooker and a little dollop of Dijon mustard at the end gives it some good tang.  I don’t like the taste of boiled potatoes so I don’t add them and I add a little Worcestershire sauce.  I also like to buy a two pack of Chuck Roast when I make this – I use one for this recipe and freeze the other one for another slow cooker favorite – Italian Beef Sandwiches.

I love me some braised meat!  I usually cook up something warm and comforting for Valentines day and this year these Short Ribs and Cheesy Polenta made for a perfect romantic dinner.  Click here for the recipe.

This is one of our all time favorites!  I found this recipe years ago in a Better Homes and Garden Magazine and love to make it on lazy weekends for Sunday night dinner (if I can I make the pulled pork in my slow cooker the day before) –  Click here for the Recipe
