When I'm looking for a frugal meal, which seems to be most of the time, short ribs are a great choice. They are inexpensive, which means they need to be cooked for a long time on a low heat. This crock pot stew is perfect for a short rib meal. The potatoes and turnips get nice and flavorful swimming in the thick stew. I like to use a Yukon Gold potato because they stand up well in the cooking and they're a beautiful golden color. This is a pretty stew.
