Slower Cooker Beef Stew
Beef stew is an oldie but goodie! Hence, with old man winter around the corner I decided to make one of my favorite recipes! Slow cooker beef stew is an all time favorite comfort food in our house! With chunks of potatoes and lots of tender meat, this is an awesome recipe for a cold, snowy day! As a result, it makes the house smell fabulous! Above all, I hope you and your family enjoy as much as we do!
Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef Stew Meat
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 Large Yellow Onion, chopped
- 32 oz Beef Broth
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic or 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 4 Carrots, peeled and chopped *or a bag of frozen crinkle cut carrots thawed
- 6 slices Pre-cooked or fresh Bacon, chopped *I prefer uncooked bacon, but precooked is good too!
- 1 bag Frozen Green Peas, thawed
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 4 Yukon Gold Potatoes, diced cook seperately
Instructions
- Trim stew meat and cut into smaller pieces if necessary. Roll in flour and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. The flour will act as a thickening agent while cooking.
- Prep the carrots, onions, garlic and bacon. Layer on top of the stew meat. **If using thawed frozen veggies, add to stew the last hour it is cooking.
- Add all the spices and broth. Sir Gent Pepper, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.
- Cook on low for 8 hours. 1 hour prior to finishing, boil potato cubes on the stove top until tender. I cook the potatoes separately because I feel there is too strong of a potato taste when cooked in the slow cooker with all the other ingredients. This is a personal preference, you can add the potatoes to the slow cooker and cook with all the other ingredients if that is easier.
- Mix all the ingredients together when done and serve! I served mine with homemade cheddar, garlic butter biscuits!
