Best Beef Stew

2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes (I only used 1 lb)
1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped (I used dried minced onions)
1 1/2 c. beef broth
3 potatoes diced
4 carrots sliced
1 stalk celery chopped (didn't have it, so i didn't use it)

1. Place meat in slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture. Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, onion, beef broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery.

2. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on high setting for 4 to 6 hours. (I cooked on high for 5ish hours.)

The meat was so tender it fell apart when we scooped it up. We had it with rice, and it was grrrreat!
