Crock Pot Stew Beef Chili

I put this together yesterday morning before going off to my one day of work. I have to say it is so nice to have dinner finished when you walk through the door. Wednesdays are crazy right now in the Jardin Zoo. Max has football practice or a game, I have work in the office and I have Bible Study that night. The Crock Pot has been my best friend on Wednesdays!
