- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Coloma Frozen Foods Diced Onions
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Paprika

- ½ teaspoon tumeric
- 2 teaspoons Bella Famiglia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 cups water
For the sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
Instructions
- Brown meat in pan with olive oil (do not cook completely).
- Line your 6-quart slow cooker with a Pan Saver Slow Cooker Liner.

Tips:
- You can use boneless or bone-in chuck roast. If using bone-in, cut meat away from the bone and discard the bone.
- Arm roast, rump roast, or stew meat can be substituted for the chuck roast. Chuck roast just seems to be a favorite in the Dewig family!
- This is a well seasoned beef stew. If you like your recipes more mild, please cut back especially on black pepper.
