    In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Cook onions and sugar in butter 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are deep golden brown and caramelized. Stir in thyme and stew meat; place in slow cooker.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, mix broth and gravy mix; pour over meat mixture in slow cooker. Top with carrots and parsnips. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender.

    Stir in peas. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until hot.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.
  • tip 2
    Substitute mushroom beef gravy mix or brown beef gravy mix for the onion gravy mix, if desired.
  • tip 3
    Serve this saucy beef stew over mashed potatoes with plenty of crusty bread for mopping up the extra sauce.
