Servings: persons

2 lbs stew meat
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
4 medium potatoes
6 carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large onions, cut into large pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper, you can also use black
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sweet basil
2 teaspoons thyme
2 dashes onion powder (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup warm water

1
First in a skillet on the stove add the olive oil and brown your stew meat. Next cut up your veggies & place in a large bowl. You want your pieces to be on the large side since this will be cooking for at least 6 or 7 hours, too small and they get kind of mushy. Add your stew meat to the veggies.
2
Next in your crock pot add the tomato sauce, then mix your tomato paste with the hot water and add to the sauce. Then add your seasonings. Mix well, then add your bowl with the veggies and the meat. Mix this all together and cook for 3 hours on high, then switch to low for another 3 or you can also do 8 hours on low. About half way through I break the cardinal rule and stir my stew and check my spices, adding what I think it may need :) it has never been a problem and the stew turns out yummy. If you like a thinner sauce for your stew add only 2 cans of tomato paste.
