  • 1 whole clove of fresh garlic, peeled
  • two stalks of celery
  • 1/4 lime cut in half along the length (if you don't like citrus, take this out)

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"You'll need a crock pot. Pour all three cans of beans, the can of tomatoes, and a 6oz can of water into the crock pot (for thick stew. Set cook time for 6 hours.","2":"place the beef tips into the pot.","4":"slice the half lime into four equal sections and squeeze into pot over the beef. Then throw the sections in too.","6":"slice the celery into 1\/8 size pieces (larger or smaller to your liking). Dump into pot.","8":"peel and separate the garlic clove. cut the large pieces in half across the diameter. Dump into pot.","10":"cut the half onion into 1\/4 inch slices and separate. Dump into pot.","12":"cut the slices of mushrooms in half and dump into pot. I leave them large so that my kids can pick them out easily.","14":"Season to taste with salt and pepper. But try it first, even though I use low sodium beans, I feel that there is plenty of good saltiness left.","16":"Stir and leave it alone for 6 hours or until your Honey and kids get home."}
