The volume is for 8 servings, so if you\u2019re feeding a crowd, adjust the ingredient portions accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem too early to do something like this for summer, when a good, solid stew is a welcoming dish in the fall and winter, but with the weather going wacky like it does these days (40s overnight and 60s at noon in my AO), it&#8217;s as good as soup and a heartier meal. Add some good crusty bread, butter, a tray of cut-up veggies, and tuck in. And add the pie with ice cream (or plain) for dessert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-1\/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed<\/li>\n<li>6 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch lengths<\/li>\n<li>1 medium onion, coarsely chopped<\/li>\n<li>3 celery ribs, coarsely chopped<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1-1\/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons canola oil<\/li>\n<li>1 can (14-1\/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained<\/li>\n<li>1 can (14-1\/2 ounces) beef broth<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon ground mustard<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon pepper<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon dried thyme<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional<\/li>\n<li>Minced fresh thyme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Layer the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker.
