Old fashioned beef vegetable stew usually called for tapioca as a thickening agent. If you haven't tried using it yet, give this recipe a try. Tapioca works great, and it makes you feel you're cooking like your Grandma did, which is fun. Of course, the convenience of the crock pot sort of gives you an advantage, but the results are very much like the Old Days!
