Crock Pot Beef Stew

I got this one from cooks.com, but modified it slightly.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs. beef stew meat
5 lg. potatoes, chopped
1 med. carrot, chopped
3 lg. ribs celery, chopped
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup quick cooking tapioca  (I bought "small pearl" instead of "quick cooking" and it worked out just fine)
2 tsp. salt
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. pepper
1 box Kitchen Basics beef broth (I accidentally left this out last time, and it worked fine, as the meat made its own stock)

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-9 hours
