Try this slow cooker beef and sweet potato stew to use South Carolina’s freshest ingredients. This recipe comes from the South Carolina Department of Agriculture’s Fresh on the Menu program, which connects consumers and chefs with local farmers. Slow cooking the stew allows for the beef to become tender and reduces its flavorful juices. The sweet potatoes in this recipe absorb the broth and juices, giving an all new meaning to sweet potato. Serve over white rice or mashed potatoes.
