Crock Pot Beef Stew

This turned out really good with one exception.  I originally posted these ingredients:


Beef Stew (Crock pot)
1 pound beef cubes
1 bay leaf
1 bag of frozen stew veggies
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 8oz can tomato sauce


I bought groceries during our Polar Vortex and selection was slim as people were freaking out and stock piling produce (because heaven forbid you don't have 20 bundles of carrots to get your through a couple of days of snow.) Anywho,I ended up getting the bag of frozen stew veggies. We were less than impressed with how the carrots were. (couldn't even cut them with a sharp knife, they just bent in half!) 

Next time I will be using the following ingredients.1 pound beef cubes
1 bay leaf
4 carrots, sliced
4-6 baby red potatoes,  halved or quartered (depending on size)
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 8oz can tomato sauce

*optional: celery, mushrooms, pearl onions, corn, peas.
