I think this is best for cool weather, but I love it!!!

Melissa's Beef Stew

V-8 juice (1 can)
Beef Broth (14.5 oz)
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup water
McCormick Beef stew seasoning (1.5 oz)
1 Tbsp beef boulin
1 Tbsp Montreal Steak seasoning
1.5 lbs stew meat
4 baking potatoes, cut up
1 can peas
1 can carrots

Combine everything except peas and carrots in a crock pot. Cook on low for 8-10 hours and add the peas and carrots no more than 2 hours before serving so they don't get too mushy. I'd place them in the begining if using fresh veggies.
