Beef and Sweet Potato Stew #MultiCookerMonday

I love making stew in my slow cooker.  It guarantees you moist, fork tender meat each and every time.  In this version Beef and Sweet Potatoes are joined with Poblano Chiles and Southwestern spices for a flavorful, comforting dinner with barely any hands on time.

Welcome to the final edition of Multi Cooker Monday........

Sue of Palatable Pastime started this group of bloggers who have been sharing our recipes using small kitchen appliances all year long.  Sue decided to switch it up and start a Potluck Party event on the last Saturday of each month where we can share our choice of recipes regardless of what appliances were made to create them.  I will miss our multi cooker Mondays but am looking forward to our Potluck Parties.

Let's see what everyone is sharing for this last Multi Cooker Monday event:

• A Day in the Life on the Farm slow cooks a Beef and Sweet Potato Stew 
• Magical Ingredients sips some Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate 
• Making Miracles serves up Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy 
• Palatable Pastime ladles out  Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup 
• Sneha’s Recipe shares Tomato Egg Pulao - Pressure Cooker 
• Karen’s Kitchen Stories gives us Vietnamese-Style Chicken and Rice Soup (Instant Pot)

Using your small kitchen appliances is a Godsend over the busy holiday season.  I made this stew up the night before when I had a few extra minutes.  Then in the morning I grabbed the crock out of the refrigerator, turned it on low and headed out to run my errands and get the rest of my Thanksgiving groceries and preparation done.

When we were finished and all the make ahead dishes were prepped and ready to go; we sat down to dinner, opened a wonderful bottle of wine and were able to relax knowing we were all prepared and ready for our Thanksgiving gathering.  You can read about the wine pairing with L'Ecole Perigee in this post.  It was wonderful and I was able to breathe and enjoy the anticipation of family gathering together to give thanks for the blessings we have received.

I will be using my small kitchen appliances a lot this week as we prepare for Christmas.  A couple of these recipes shared today have caught my eye and will be perfect during the chaotic Christmas rush.
