Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Stew image

Here is a variation of a beef stew that I came across. With sweet flavor from apricots and squash, we think it has South American or Cuban flair. The addition of corn makes it even more hearty. -Ruth Rodriguez of Fort Myers Beach, Florida

I've made this stew twice now and it's always a hit with my family. The first time I made it, I used chuck roast and it was a little tough, but the second time I used sirloin steak and it was perfect.
