Beef Stew with Sweet Potatoes and Bacon

Yes, bacon! The combination of bacon and sweet potatoes make this unlike any stew you have ever had! The best part? There is no precooking like the Paleo Chili, you just dump the ingredients and go!!

What you need:

• homemade, paleo bone broth (check out THIS easy way to make it!), approximately 28-32 oz
• 2.5 lbs of stew meat
• 2 carrots, cut @ 1/2"
• 2 celery sticks, cut
• 2-3 medium sweet potatoes, cut to 1" half circles (any smaller and they will fall apart)
• 5-6 pieces of bacon, cut @ 1/2" chunks
• 1 tbsp thyme
• 1 tsp each, salt and pepper

What you do:

1. Turn crockpot on low. 
2. Pour in homemade bone broth. 
3. Add half the meat, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, and bacon. 
4. Add thyme, salt and pepper. 
5. Add the other half of all ingredients. 
6. Mix well to combine. 
7. If your ingredients are too high up over the liquid, you can add a little water. 
8. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. 
9. If you like a thick stew, you can add 1 tbsp coconut flour at the end. 

Yes, we like sweet potatoes!
