Slow-cooker Beef Stew

I love me some hearty beef stew, especially on a chilly rainy day.

This one is my favorite.

And for you Weight Watchers fans, a cup is only 5 points.
Not too bad for how delicious and filling it is!

The red wine gives it a deep flavor, which is nice. But if you shy away from using wine in your cooking, you can always add some good quality red grape juice.

It only uses a 1/2 cup, so it shouldn't alter the flavor enough to make a massive difference.

Enjoy!
