Very easy, savory stew. Throw it together in the morning, and by afternoon you have a hearty, hot meal in a bowl. Fresh potatoes and carrots can be used in place of the canned/bagged veggies I use.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A simple slow cooker beef stew recipe where no peeling potatoes and carrots is required. That's a win for us! The meat is tender and cooks to perfection. Most beef stew recipes have potatoes and mushrooms, but button mushrooms are a nice surprise in this recipe. Once it slow cooks, the gravy is nice and thick without the work. An easy weeknight dinner.

How To Make crock pot beef stew

Step 1

In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, brown stew meat. I sprinkle a little of the seasoning mix onto the meat, just enough to cover in a light layer. Save the rest of the seasoning for later. Drain.

Step 2

In a 5 or 6-quart Crock Pot, combine the remaining ingredients.
Step 3

Add stew meat and stir ingredients together.
Step 4

Cover. Cook on low setting for 6 - 7 hours, or until meat and veggies are tender. Stir occasionally.
