- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add the sweet potato chunks, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.

- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is fork-tender.

Notes
Mashing a few sweet potato pieces against the side of the pot thickens the broth without any extra steps. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a splash of broth to loosen the texture if needed.
