Easy Stew

I made this stew yesterday. It's a great meal you can make ahead or make extra then freeze. I also use it in another recipe I'll share soon. If you are preparing this days before you want to eat it, put the pot or crock pot on low.  If it's being prepared early on the day of, put the slow cooker on high.
Ingredients
  • a bag of  frozen vegetables
  • 2-4 potatoes
  • an envelope of brown gravy mix
  • flour
  • canned or container of broth or water (beef, chicken, vegetable)
  • raw stew meat (if desired or substitute with cooked chicken)
* add other seasoning and ingredients to taste
First, you will need to make the stew base. Pour a small amount (about 2 cups)  of water or broth  into the crock pot.  Whisk in the envelop of brown gravy into the pot. Then  whisk in flour slowly until the mixture is slightly pasty. (gravy thickens  naturally) Now pour in more  water / broth until the pot is half full and mix.  Dump  the  meat and vegetables into your slow cooker. Add water/ broth until the pot is full and stir. 
 Cook for at least a few hours. I remove all except what I plan to eat that day from the slow cooker and I let it cool in a bowl to prepare it for bagging. Bag the food in a freezer bag the sized bags needed to feed your household. Be sure to label the bag before you fill it with what it is and the date you are bagging it.
Enjoy!
