Ingredients

1 Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1/4 cup Chopped avocado, cilantro, and/or crushed red pepper

Directions

1 Line a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds slow cooker liner. Coat beef with flour.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3 Place beans, carrots, onion, and garlic into the prepared slow cooker liner. Top with browned beef. Add tomatoes, broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
4 Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
