Ingredients

2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
12 ounces tiny new potatoes, quartered
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup (such as campbell's® healthy request)
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon dried marjoram or dried thyme, crushed
2 cups frozen cut green beans

Directions

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Trim any fat from beef cubes. Add half of the beef cubes. Cook and stir until brown; remove from skillet. Add the remaining beef cubes; cook and stir until brown. Drain off any fat.
Place meat in a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, cream of mushroom soup, broth, and marjoram. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 9 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
If using low-heat setting, turn cooker to high-heat setting. Stir in green beans. Cover and cook about 30 minutes more or just until beans are tender.
