Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Crockpot bags are the key to success!
* Step 2
In a pan cook bacon strips.
* Step 3
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Measure to get a heaping 3 cups and place in the prepared slow cooker.
* Step 4
Add in the chopped celery, chopped onion, the bag of carrots, drained can of corn and undrained can of diced tomatoes and bacon
* Step 5
Toss together the flour, seasoned salt, and pepper. Toss the cut meat (cut in 1 inch cubes if not pre-cut) in the flour mixture until well coated.
* Step 6
Place the coated meat in the slow cooker on top of all the vegetables. You do not need to pre-cook the meat at all.
* Step 7
Add in the bay leaf, minced garlic, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
* Step 8
Crumble in the boullion cubes and the water.
* Step 9
Stir everything together and try to submerge the meat below the veggies to keep it as tender as possible. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or high for 5-7 hours or until the sweet potatoes and vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked through and tender. All slow cookers cook at different temperatures. Mine takes about 8 hours on low.
* Step 10
When ready to serve, remove the bay leaf.
* Step 11
Stir the ingredients together and slightly mash the tender sweet potatoes in the crockpot. This gives it a chunkier and thicker stew consistency and it's delicious!
