Layer it up: Add beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic to the crock pot.
Mix the flavor: Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and bay leaves.
Cook low & slow:
LOW: 8 hours

💡 Pro Tips
Want it extra rich? Brown the beef in a skillet first (optional but amazing).
Too thick? Splash in a little more broth.
Serve with crusty bread or warm biscuits 🥖
