"what you have in the fridge" beef stew

i made this recipe up to get rid of what felt like 100 (really, 3 lbs) of peppers i got from the farm last week. i had stew meat! i had peppers! i didn't have much else.

the ingredients
- 2lb beef stew cubes
- 3lbs of peppers (i had yellow, purple, green, red)
- onion powder, to taste (i like lots)
- garlic powder, to taste (ditto)
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 3/4 can water
- salt, to taste

the method
chop the peppers roughly. i did slices about one inch long, 1/2 inch thick.
throw all ingredients in crockpot.
stir.
cook on low for 8-9 hours.

the notes
i put this on before i went to bed and woke up to the delicious smell of stew. i packed a container for lunch and fridge'd the rest.
you could improve this by using fresh onion and garlic (didn't have any) and maybe crushed tomato instead of sauce (omit the water). i've done this with carrots and celery too, with a lot of luck.
