Ginger and Tomato Beef Stew

Another homage to my crockpot. It is by far the most faithful of kitchen companions and definitely my most loved! If it ever quits on me, I don't know what I'll do, although maybe it could be repurposed as a planter.

Today's recipe comes adapted from the 2005 Canadian Living Slow Cooker special. It's full of great recipes, but I haven't really made anything from it yet. That's the trouble with cookbooks sometimes.

( And it made bonus pasta sauce for another night! )
