SPINACH BEEF STEW
I came up with this recipe using what I had on hand one day, and it remains a family favorite on these colder New England days. It's a fabulous was to use up leftover roast. In fact, it's so good you might want to plan to have leftovers the next time you make a roast. -Amy Leary, Burlington, Connecticut

HERBED BEEF STEW
This is the best beef stew I have ever tasted and I am a huge fan of stew and have eaten a ton of it over my life. I found this recipe in a Light and Tasty catalog several years ago while at the dentists office. Of course I couldn't steal the recipe out of it but I immediately went on the hunt for it as soon as my root canal had calmed down and it was well worth the hunt. Everyone who tastes this stew begs for the recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Steps:
- 1. Spray crock pot with cooking spray.
- 2. Place all ingredients, except spinach, in crock pot in order listed. Cook on low for 6.5 - 7 hours.

- 4. Serve with white rice and crusty bread. Plate and enjoy!
Tips:
- For richer flavor, use a combination of chuck roast and short ribs.
