     Ok, here is a bit of an experiment to see what I could come up with.  I found a recipe I didn't like, took what I wanted from it and added some new stuff.

Ingredients:

2lb stewmeat, cubed
6-8 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
6-8 red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
1 cup pearl onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried mexican oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Better than bullion Beef Soup stock
3 cups water.

Steps: 

1.  Put everything into my 5qt slow cooker.
2.  cook covered on high for 1 hour.
3.  Cook covered on low for 6 hours.

 Once you changed things around, how did it turn out?  Was planning on trying this one tomorrow ...

Tried it out, and it was a HIT with the family!  Thanks for the good recipe, Boojum.  I might try some barley in it next time, or even add a few different veggies.  But a good stew/soup.

 Sounds a lot like one I make. I also use onion soup mix and some of the commercial garlic mixes. (Garlic Garni, Primo's flavored garlic mixes, etc.) The barley also sounds like a great idea.

Update: I gave this a try with barley. I had to add water several times to accommodate the barley swelling up. Even with this, I ended up with something more like a chunky veggie chili--esque concoction than a stew. Tasted  great.
