crock pot beef stewThe days leading up to Christmas somehow seem shorter. I don’t mean the number of hours with daylight…I mean there just don’t seem to be as many hours in the day. These are the days when crock pot recipes come in handy. Throw everything in the pot in the morning and come home at the end of the day to dinner done. With this recipe I was inspired by the flavours of Morocco, warm and spicy. This Moroccan inspire crock pot beef stew with a side of rice, was totally family friendly and loved by everyone.

Moroccan Inspired Crock Pot Beef Stew

1 lb stewing beef, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

4 medium carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup raisins

After a hectic day of Christmas shopping there is nothing like walking into the house knowing dinner is ready. This stew fills your home with a beautiful aroma. Dinner becomes a full sensory experience. My girls could not stop talking about how beautiful the stew smelled. As a bonus, the stew makes a fabulous lunch the next day. Happy shopping.
