Happy to be of help. This Rival recipe is from around 1984.
BEEF STEW
2 pounds beef chuck or stew meat, cut in 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic
1 bay leaf
1 tsp paprika
4 carrots, sliced
3 potatoes, diced
2 onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 tsp Kitchen Bouquet
Place meat in cooker. Mix flour, salt and pepper, and pour over meat; stir to coat meat with flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix well. Cover and cook on Low 10 to 12 hours. (High: 4 to 6 hours). Stir stew thoroughly before serving.
This is written verbatum from the book. I'm sure if you are like me you will add more or less veggies. By the way my husband saw me writing this and now he wants me to make it for him too.
