Homestyle Crock Pot Beef Stew

Print

Ingredients:

2 lbs. boneless beef chuck or stew beef
2 cans (14.5 oz each) stewed tomatoes
2 packets (1.5 oz) beef stew seasoning (McCormicks or store brand)
3 medium potatoes, cut up
1 medium onion, cut in wedges
1 lb. baby carrots
4 stalks celery cut into 1/4 inch pieces

Directions:

1.  Spray crock pot with Pam or other non-stick cooking spray.

2.  Mix the stewed tomatoes and beef stew seasoning in a bowl.

3.  Place vegetables in the crock pot first, followed by the meat and tomato mixture.

4.  Cook covered for 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on high.

5.  Enjoy!

* Note:  Sometimes I will omit the potatoes and serve over cooked noodles.  Great served with a crisp green salad and bread for mopping!

  9. Russo - most of my recipes are family favorites from my childhood. I'm just revamping them to work for me... like stew in the crock pot and not on the stove!

    Without Adornment - not sure what spices are in the packets. I like the spices better than when I was making this completely from scratch.. a deeper, "comfort food" flavor!

    Chic Homeschool Mama - Hi! I always love findingn other homeschoolers in the 'blogosphere!'

    Thank you all for visiting and the kind comments. Enjoy your stew this week!

  19. New follower from the Saturday Hop! I could not sleep so thought I would get a jump on things a little early in case I crash later.
    Love the blog! I would love a follow back. I am new to blogging so no reviews or giveaways yet until I have more experience but I am posting other bloggers contests to help me win some contests and help them get more exposure. Oh, my, all that food looks so good! If only you knew how many food restrictions I have you would understand why this is torture! But it looks like it probably tastes like heaven.
