Stew

My new quest is easy crockpot meals since casseroles are a thing of the past.  Although, I am going to experiment with casseroles again someday.......

Here is hubby's stew recipe which is one of his favorites.

2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
4-6 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 pound stew meat-we use bison meat that we cube
1 T salt
1 t dried thyme
1/2 t black pepper
1 bay leaf
beef broth

Combine first nine ingredients in crockpot then add beef broth until crockpot is full.  Cook on low 8 hours.  You can always adjust the amounts based on how large your crockpot is...I need to find a bigger one.  Serve this with some cornbread and you have an easy make-ahead meal.
