QuestionI am planning to cook beef stew for dinner guests after work and will need to utilize my crock pot. How long does it take to cook beef stew in a crock pot at 350 degrees?
AnswerDepending on the size of the crock pot and how full it is, a beef stew could take anywhere from 4-6 hours. You also must take into account how much liquid is in the crock pot.
QuestionI've made beef stew in the crock pot a few times, but it keeps tasting kind of bland. What can I add to make the stew taste a little more interesting?

AnswerBarbecue, such as ribs or pulled pork, is great out of a crockpot. Crockpot chili is always an option. A soup, such as chicken noodle, minestrone, split-pea, or pasta fagiole is a good choice for winter.
