Slow Cooker Beef Stew
This is my go to fall/winter meal idea. I eat it the most during that time of the year but really this is a favorite all year round! Just picture it, the fireplace going, the rain/snow falling, all cozied up with a warm bowl of beef stew. Just ignore the pile of dishes, toys all over the floor, and the kid in the corner screaming at you and you have yourself the perfect cold weather night.
How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stew
This meal is one of my favorite “dump recipes”. Just dump it all in your slow cooker and a few hours later dinner is ready. Not to mention the amazing smell it gives your home. Start by Coat your beef with the flour and then place in slow cooker. I have used corn starch in the past to make this gluten-free for my dad and it still tastes great. Just something to thicken it up. Now add it along with the other ingredients to your slow cooker. Cook covered for 6-8 hours on low. Now time to eat!! Hope you enjoy it.

I’ve been looking for a recipe like this! My only concern is I would like to increase the amounts so it serves more. My guy and my daughter’s BF are both big eaters and I want to make sure they’re both satisfied. Thanks!
I hear ya Sharon! I have three growing boys and a husband to feed. This was good for us for one meal but it can be easily doubled if you want o try that.
My kids loved it. Normally my 7 and 8 yr Olds are picky eaters but they devoured this..
Yah!! I call that a mom win! Thanks for letting me know Jennifer and I am so glad they loved it =)
Could it be served in a bread bowl?
Yes!! That sounds so yummy! I may have to try that out this fall =)
Would you say more like 6 or more like 8? I will not be home and need to know how long I should put it on for.
If you have a large amount of beef in large chucks I would push to closer to 8 to be safe. Either way it should not over cook just make your meat more tender. Hope you enjoy the recipe let me know if you have any more questions! =)
By 3 stalks of celery, do you mean 3 ribs(legs) from a stalk?
Thanks Jillian! Updated that =)
I will try this I know it’s going to text good is easy too.
Going to make this recipe in the morning! 🙂 do I need to brown the beef before putting it in the crock pot?
So glad you will be trying this out! I did not brown my beef before placing it in the crock pot. You can dump it all in and run =)
What size crockpot did you use? Want o make sure this will fit in mine!
I have a 6 qt slow cooker. If yours is smaller just get a smaller roast and cut the rest of the recipe in half! =)
How many servings does this make?
This beef stew should serve 6. Hope you enjoy it Ashley!
