If you do a Google search for 'slow cooker beef stew recipe', you'll get plenty of results.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
Re: Thermal Cooker Recipe for Beef Stew Reply #2 – December 10, 2009, 10:49:11 am Yahoo Message Number: 108336Bill, As Andy stated, any crock pot receipe is compatible in a thermal cooker. However, trial and error will tell you how long the cooking process will take, how much liquid to use, and how large the veggies need to be for tenderness. We have found that potatoes cut in one inch cubes is a good rule of thumb, carrots smaller. Meat does not need to be browned in advance. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Six hours of green power is usually sufficient. YMMV.Bon Appetit, Malcolm

YMMV. --- An additional suggestion... a boneless chuck roast (less expensive cuts are the most flavorful for "stewie stuff") trimmed and cut into pieces about 1" - 1 1/2" or so is a good beef choice. I also brown the meat well to improve the flavor of the end result. Be sure to not crowd the pot when browning the meat pieces or they'll "pre-stew". (And, if it's compatible with your tastes and lifestyle, a cup or so of red wine in the liquid makes a difference!)Joan
