Hunt’s Petite Diced Tomatoes add to the flavor of the beef and pull the stew together for a delicious meal! Plus, the tomatoes are great for a number of recipes. I also like to use them for home made vegetable soup in my slow cooker. They would be great in a pizza or lasagna recipe too!

This is something you can either make in the crockpot or oven, and even stovetop. I made it in a dutch oven, and we had it for dinner.

    Hunts is my go to for anything having to do with tomato. Seriously the best brand ever.

    I just recently started to use leek, and I can’t believe I never used it before! It has such a great. low key flavor, especially when you put it in soups and stews. I can’t wait to try this recipe.

  46. 12/09/2016 / 2:03 pm

    I love that you used leeks in this recipe. Leek is one of my favorite veggies. The flavor is so good, but not overpowering.
