Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Beef Stew Meat (use chuck or round for the best tenderness)

- Generously sprinkle seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper over the meat to infuse flavor as it cooks.
- Gently layer the baby Yukon Gold potatoes on top of the seasoned beef, maximizing those delightful buttery flavors.
- Cut the unsalted butter into smaller pieces and scatter them evenly over the meat and potatoes for creamy richness.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low, letting your meal simmer for 6 hours until everything is fork-tender and fragrant.
