AUTUMN BEEF STEW

I was going through my travel pics and at the same time switching to Clean Eating website's recipe page, the moment I saw this recipe I immediately want to cook it for tomorrow's dinner. Then again, will ask hubby to cook it.. heee! He's been cooking scrumptious meals for me of late and getting a lot better with his culinary skills. In fact, he's cooking better than me!

Yeah... the thought of this stew is making me hungry already.. Especially if hubby's cooking it... Oh yumm! Will post pic! Looking forward to it!

Details
Embrace the chilly weather with this slow-cooker recipe that is sure to warm you from the inside out. This recipe comes from Kitchen Table community member Tiffany. Here’s her tip: Use extra veggies since they cook down and may not seem like enough. I doubled this recipe so it fit perfectly into my large Crock-Pot and made enough for leftovers!
Ingredients
• 1 lb / 454 g extra lean stewing beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
• ¼ lb / 113 g low-sodium turkey bacon
• 1 cup / 240 ml chopped onion

• 2 cups / 480 ml apple cider
• 1 lb / 454 g diced white potatoes

• 2 ribs celery, sliced
• 1½ cups / 360 ml diced rutabaga
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml dried rosemary, crumbled
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml freshly chopped parsley or dried parsley flakes (optional)
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml whole wheat flour
Preparation
  1. Cook beef, turkey bacon and onions in a large skillet on medium heat until the beef is browned and bacon is cooked.
  2. Place in the slow cooker: beef, bacon, onions, broth, apple cider, potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga, bay leaf, rosemary, pepper and parsley, if using. Cover and cook 7-9 hours.
