I love soups and stews all year but something about them in Fall and the dead of winter is extra comforting.This slow cooker version is heavenly. Ever since I was a little girl, my favorite thing to pair with beef stew is a fluffy biscuit...or two. I like to pull little pieces off and pop in the stew for a bite with each spoonful.
This hearty, warming stew of beef and chunky vegetables is the ideal dinner on a cold chilly night.
Yum
Oh and uh, slow cooker, crock pot?? Same diff to me I just wanted to call this one Slow Cooker as I feel it is definitely best when it slowly cooks all day.
What you'll need
SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW
Ingredients
2 pounds
beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped
4 cups beef broth/canned or make your own with a good beef base
4-5 potatoes, diced
4 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
Directions
Place meat in slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture. Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, onion, beef broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 6 hours. (I like it best on low, especially when you're at work all day and cannot check on it) If you'd like it a little thicker, scoop out a small portion of critic andnmix with a 2 Tbsps of cornstarch tis smooth then return crockpot for about 15 minutes before serving. Maybe while your fluffy biscuits are baking. :)HAPPY TASTY TUESDAY FRIENDS!

That looks so good. I made a similar one last week, but I left it in the crockpot too long and the potatoes turned to mush! It was still good though! Have a great day :)

Such a hearty meal and definitely man approved! And it's a winner because hello crock pot!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I just made the Pioneer Woman's beef stew last week, and the recipe was very similar, except it was stove-top. I think I'll try it in the crock pot next time...so much easier!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so amazing, Andrea! There is nothing like a crock pot recipe, especially during the winter! As soon as I can get out of my street, I'm heading to the grocery store to pick up these times, sounds so delicious!
