Directions

LINE a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker with a Regular size Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner. Fit liner snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl pull top of liner over rim of bowl.

COAT the beef with flour. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is browned set aside. Add the beans, carrots, onion, garlic and browned beef to the lined slow cooker. Gently stir in tomatoes, broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper with a wooden or plastic spoon.

 

COVER and cook 3 to 4 hours on HIGH OR 6 to 7 hours on LOW, until the beef is fork-tender.

CAREFULLY remove lid to allow steam to escape. Gently stir in the corn. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer or until corn is heated through.

 

SERVE stew directly from lined slow cooker. Top with avocado, cilantro, and/or crushed red pepper, if desired. Remove all food and cool slow cooker completely before removing liner from slow cooker. Do not lift or transport liner with food inside.

TIP
For fewer servings, use half of each ingredient and cook in a 2 ½ to 3-quart slow cooker lined with a Small size Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner.
