Diego's Special Beef Stew image

This is a beef stew for the slow cooker that I came up with after quite a bit of trial and error attempting to improve upon other recipes. My husband Diego was my critic each time and finally he chose this as the winner. It has a LOT of onion :-)

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. The beef was also a bit tough, but I think that was because I didn't cook it long enough.
