If you want to make this delicious Irish American stew in a crockpot, just brown the beef on the stove top first, then add all the ingredients to the slow cooker. Make sure the liquid covers the meat and vegetables, and cook on low 5-7 hours.
If you want a thicker stew, make a slurry of 2 tablespoons flour in one cup of warm water; mix together and add to stew at the end of the cooking process
