Slow Cooker Italian Beef over Roasted Garlic Bread

I'm a sucker for my slow cooker.  I use it at least a couple of times a week.  I used it almost every day when I worked.  Back then I would try to adapt recipes to cook in my slow cooker.  Now that I'm home, I find myself adapting slow cooker recipes to my stove top.  But occasionally I find myself with something to do outside the house and that's when I pull out the trusty slow cooker and fire it up.  Nothing beats walking into the house, smelling something delicious and knowing your dinner is almost ready to eat.  Oh yeah, and there's only one pot to clean up.  This hearty recipe is easy and extra flavorful when served over bread that is spread with roasted garlic.  Throw in a salad and you've got a wonderful, complete meal.
Easy AND Delicious!
The Line-Up:  Only 6 ingredients total.
In slow cooker, combine stew meat
with bouillon.  Add garlic powder.

spread with roasted garlic.

over toasted bread.
