Slow Cooker Italian Style Stew

Steps

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients up to the beef broth in a 5-6qt Slow Cooker. Once all ingredients are added, add the additional water or broth to come up just above the meat. In a 6 quart slow cooker, I typically add 2 cups of water.

2. 2

   Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix in the flour to allow the stew to thicken a bit.

3. 3

   Top with cheese.

4. 4

   Serve with garlic bread or side of your choice.
