a.k.a. the BEST stew known to man

I have dreams about this stew...I crave it. It's the meal that turns a miserable day into a joyful day.

4 medium potatoes; diced
1/2 white onion; diced
1/2 red onion; diced
4 carrots; peeled and diced
2 heaping T. spicy brown mustard
3 heaping T. minced garlic
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper 
2 tsp. basil 
2 shakes of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 stick of butter

          Dice the potatoes, onion, and carrots; place in crock pot. Add chuck stew meat. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the brown gravy packet. Cook on low for 8 hours. During last hour of cook time, add brown gravy packet.
