It’s the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, or any great day of the year. DELISH!

I just love the flavor the Guinness adds to this simple beef stew recipe. Pat’s not a big beer guy, but he LOVES Guinness.  This soup is right up his alley! Hearty, easy, delicious; all the best things! Doesn’t it make you want to gather around a table and enjoy some food with your loved ones? The best part is it has very little prep or cleanup. Have fun with your family, don’t slave away in the kitchen.

Like I said, COMFORT FOOD! Beef, carrots, potatoes, BEER. Gimme!! So many good flavors coming together in a meal that will warm the soul and make you think of my favorite holiday, St. Patrick’s Day! Be sure to wear green while eating it!

Ingredients

• 10 small red potatoes quartered
• 1 14.5 ounce can sliced carrots
• 2 full stalks celery chopped
• 3 lbs stew meat cubed
• 1/2 cup flour
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups diced onion
• 2 8 ounce cans tomato sauce
• 10 ounces beef broth about 1/3 of a large box
• 2 ounces envelope Onion Soup Mix
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 12 ounces 1 bottle Guinness Stout

Instructions

• Put potato, carrot, and celery chunks in the bottom of crock pot on low heat. Pour in beer, beef broth, garlic powder, salt and pepper, soup mix, and basil. Stir to combine.
• Season beef lightly with salt and pepper and then coat in the flour.

• Add meat and onions to the slow cooker.
