Hey guys! Kellyn here, with another mouth watering Tried and True recipe. Today’s delicious-ness is warm and chunky and super duper simple! This is one of those recipes that we got from the sister of a friend of a friend of a friend years ago (my mom has been making this since we were little). I think that automatically makes it good, since its been passed to friendsย so many times. ๐
We have lots of these kinds of recipes that I’m sure we’ll be sharing in our future. We love it for it’s chunks of beef, carrot and potato. Oh yeah – it’s also great because it’ SIMPLE!! You pretty much throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook.
Having recipes like this make me want to grab a blanket and turn on “While you were sleeping,” Right? Just me? (Ok, anything makes me want to watch that movie!) Well, movie or no movie, this stew is truly awesome. And with just a few simple steps, it’ll be in your crock pot and ready for dinner in no time!
If you like simple, heart and delicious soups then this Beef Stew is for you…
Slow Cooker Beef Stew

- 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to your crock pot.

Can you be any more specific on the size of package of carrots? Thanks!
I’m not sure of the ounces but it’s the only bag of full-size carrots I see at the grocery store. You peel those and slice them and add them to the stew. You are welcome to add as many or as little carrots. ๐
Oh it’s that time of year again! I love good hearty stews when the weather cools off.
This stew is so simple and to the point! I always seem to go overboard (just made a stew a couple of days ago that took forever!) At least I know if I am not in the mood to stand at the stove for hours that I can make this in the slow cooker ๐
Everything about this looks FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! Those potatoes tho…..
Wow! This seriously is easy! The pictures are so gorgeous – it looks rich, meaty and really flavorful … yet all with just a few ingredients, quickly tossed into the slow cooker! Perfect for busy days!
THANK YOU!! It’s definietly perfect for busy, cool days!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Beef stew is like the ultimate comfort food. This looks crazy good!
Totally agree! Thanks for stopping by! ๐
I love using my slow cooker for stews. This stew looks absolutely perfect too!
Thank you!! Stew is the best on a cold day… still waiting for it to be cold here in Houston. ๐
Any advice for cooking this on the stovetop?
I haven’t done this particular stew on the stove, but you would probably need to brown your meat first, then add your ingredients. I’m not sure how long it would take, but I would bring it to a boil, then simmer until potatoes & carrots are tender & meat cooked.
I’ve had stew done this way and it’s fabulous! These classic, simple recipes are the best! Beautiful photos ๐
Thank you so much, Valerie! There’s nothing better than simple and delicious recipes. ๐
I’m making this now but it’s been 6 hours and the meat still isn’t cooked. How much longer should I cook it for in increments? Thanks.
What is the green seasoning on top that shows in the picture? Looks so yummy! I’m going to make it tomorrow.
Cannot do mushroom soup…any substitute suggested?
Maybe you could try a vegetable soup or use beef broth? Hope those ideas help!
Is the mushroom soup “condensed”??
Yes ๐ ENJOY!
Just wanted to tell you how very much my family and I are enjoying your recipes…I’m especially concentrating on the 20 slow cooker ones now. Thank you so very much! (My website is under construction but I have started).
Thank you so much! You are so nice! I’m so glad you do!
My family loved this!!! My 10 year old said she thought it was so good and didnt really want โstewโ. Everyone had seconds.
Haha!! I am so glad she loved it! Thank you so much!
