Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Shiitake Mushrooms
Why I Love This Recipe
Earthy shiitake mushrooms, beef and veggies blend for an easy-to-make meal.
Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)
