Crockpot Super Easy Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Combine beef, potatoes, carrots, and onion in a slow cooker crock.
• Mix cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, onion soup mix, parsley, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over the beef mixture.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. Stir before serving.

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Place flour in a large shallow dish. Add stew meat; turn to coat evenly. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil in batches. Place over vegetables., In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, broth, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme and, if desired, browning sauce. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender. If desired, sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.

Steps:

• Brown the meat in a few tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Just enough to sear it and seal in the juices.
• Combine the meat and all the ingredients in the crock pot, cook on low at least 6 hours, but can go for 10 or more.

Steps:

• Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften - about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don't add salt as the stock may be salty).
• Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
• If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

Steps:

• 1. Take a non-stick skillet, add stew meat, add garlic salt and Lowery's seasoning salt. Brown meat (about five minutes).
• 2. While the meat is browning, add to the crock pot: cloves of garlic,stewed tomatoes, celery, carrots,green bell pepper, beef or chicken stock, brown gravy (I whisked the brown gravy with a bit of water; to eliminate lumps), beef or chicken stock, and onions.
• 3. Put lid on slow cooker. Place temperature on low and cook for 8-10 hours. Your time will depend on how your cooker heats. I have three pots and they each cook different.
• 4. Now, take your cubed potatoes (washed of course) and place in a very large bowl, sprinkle your dry ranch packet over potatoes. Take a large spoon and stir until every potato is coated well. Place coated potatoes in a zip lock bag and place in refrigerator overnight.
• 5. Now it's morning and you will pre-heat oven to 350 and bake your ranch covered potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes. Ovens vary so you might want to watch after about 20 minutes to make sure you don't burn them. Once done, add them to your stew and ENJOY!!
