    Everything looked great until you recomend using a Plastic liner in the crock pot. Google search “estrogenic”. Wonder why 80% of men and women are all starting to look like pregnant women in the third trimester? Plastic. It is literally giving everyone a daily dose of estrogen mimicking chemicals combined with the E3 female birth control drugs that have seeped into our water supply. Plastic might seem like it is useful, but when you consider its toxic effects on your endocrin system, it’s not. Stop being lazy and just scrub the crockpot.

      Thank you Chris for the compliments on the recipe as well as sharing your concerns. I am sure you want to educate consumers. For this I applaud your efforts. I personally feel that “being lazy” though is a stone you shouldn’t throw. I dislike using soaps that also are not good practice for the environment and wasting water on tasks that can be better handled in another way. I did research your concerns and also found some data that went beyond. Your ideas do have merit, but I would like to share this paragraph from an article you can see at https://www.leaf.tv/articles/what-are-the-dangers-of-plastic-crock-pot-liners/

      “According to the Food and Drug administration (FDA), a minute amount of chemicals from Crock-Pot liners may migrate to food during the cooking process, especially if exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time. However, the FDA has determined, based on current data, the amount of chemical migration poses no health risk. The FDA sets forth acceptable tolerances for contamination from chemical migration. Recent concerns about the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA) have prompted the FDA to reconsider its use. Many states like Minnesota have banned products that contain BPA; therefore, according to Good Housekeeping, there is little or no risk of exposure to BPA from plastic Crock-Pot liners. Companies that sell Crock-Pot liners will display the “FDA Approved” seal on the packaging to reassure consumers that the product has been thoroughly tested and approved as safe for use with food preparation.”

      My crock pot liners do not contain BPA.

    Sounds yummy but it’s too hot here to think of stew yet! My husband wouldn’t be happy if I tried to pull that one over on him but I’m always looking for a good beef stew recipe.

      This is my fallback meal when I am going to have a tough day. 10 minutes to throw together and done when we get home. All 5 of us can eat when we are ready and there is almost no clean up! Enjoy Amy.

    Well, at the rate of whats going on with me. Sometimes I think I won’t cope up with the demands of everyday as I am working, a mom and a wife plus we have a pet cat here. This crock pot beef stew is worth it. There are three things I learned from you. First, chocolate peanut butter combo is everlasting…ha ha ha! Second, pie will save me all the time. Third, crock pot stew is a versatile choice of preparation as always. Thank you Marilyn and have a great weekend

      You are so cute Mareliz. I totally understand the pace and challenges of being a working woman. But remember that with all that is required of you, taking time to celebrate YOU is the most important. When you are not 100% the battle to get things done and choose what can wait is already lost. I am glad you find some comfort in my blog. My theory is, the “most” isn;t always the “best”. Quick, easy and healthy is always #1! Enjoy your week.
