Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours. Stir well before serving.

For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

Tips

Shiitake mushrooms add a wonderful, rich flavor to this easy beef stew. If they aren't available, you can use 2 cups of sliced regular white mushrooms.
To make sure everything is done at the same time, cut the meat and vegetables into the sizes specified in the recipe.
