You have to love your slow cooker....

Last year I purchased the Crock Pot Best-Loved Recipes Cookbook at Sams on a whim. I love this cookbook and all of the recipes in it. My favorite recipe which I made several times last winter was the "Easy Beef Stew." But I refer to it as one of my favorite comfort foods - Beef and Noodles. This recipe is so delicious that the beef flavor will melt in your mouth. With the combination of the dry onion mix and red cooking wine the flavors just amaze me everytime! Enjoy!
