Cover and cook on High 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serves 9. * (May omit flour and oil and just add meat to crockpot with remaining ingredients.) Bobbie's Note. This was delicious! I made the full recipe and used an extra cup of beef broth. Browning the meat well in the fat made it especially flavorful. I also added about 1/2 cup red wine, some garlic powder and a bit more salt and pepper. I cooked it in a large kettle on the stove top but served it from a large crockpot. It was more than would fit in the crockpot. It easily served 12. I used frozen pearl onions. We cut the potatoes and turnips a bit smaller and they were just the right size.
