- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pads
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the beef stew meat in one half of the crockpot and arrange the baby Yukon gold potatoes on the other half to keep them separated.
- Season the ingredients: Evenly sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt over both the beef and potatoes to ensure consistent flavor throughout the dish.

- Place butter pads: Distribute the 5 tablespoons of butter cut into pads across the entire crockpot dish to create a rich garlic butter sauce during cooking.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the potatoes to cook through inside the flavorful butter sauce.

Notes
- For best results, use fresh baby Yukon gold potatoes as they hold their shape well during slow cooking.
- You can adjust the seasoning amounts based on your taste preferences.
- Make sure to cut butter into small pads to help it melt evenly over the beef and potatoes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the beef and potatoes at the end and reduce the liquid on the stovetop before serving.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added aroma and flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled easily, just ensure your crockpot is large enough to accommodate the ingredients.
