Slow Cooker Beef & Vegetable Stew

An easy recipe to get into the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a delicious dinner!

Here we are at the last Taste of Home Tuesday of January!  Am I the only one who thinks the month has gone by way too fast?  But we are one month closer to spring!

Although I am thankful I didn’t have to go through the blizzard that hit the US northeast this past weekend, I was a tiny bit jealous of the amount of snow they got.  I live in Canada for gawd sake!  I like our winter to have snow!  Thankfully we did manage to have cold enough temperatures and a few flurries for the Ice Wine Festival to have another successful year!

Since Sunday was going to be a very busy day I wanted to pop something into the slow cooker and have it ready for dinner time.  I picked this Slow Cooker Beef & Vegetable stew since I had everything on hand already, not to mention it looked pretty darn good.

We weren’t disappointed!  It was full of flavour and the beef was cooked to a tender perfection.  Big chunks of potato and baby carrots made it a real hearty meal.  I had picked up a fresh baked loaf bread from the market and spread a bit of sweet creamy butter on top.

The perfect Sunday dinner for a cold winter day!

Here are a few of my tips to make prep even easier:

  • use stewing beef that is already pre-cubed
  • I buy large bags of pre-chopped frozen onion
  • baby carrots are called for in this recipe, but using regular carrots thickly sliced would work just fine
  • use a better quality tomato soup for a richer flavour
  • when preparing the cornstarch thickener, use a jar with a tight fitting lid to shake up the cornstarch and water

A delicious slow cooker meal for a cold winter day

You can find the recipe for Slow Cooker Beef & Vegetable Stew at here at www.tasteofhome.com.   And while you are there, have a look around.  Maybe you have a tried and true recipe that you would like to submit.  You never know, it could end up in the pages of Taste of Home magazine!

Until next time….

    The addition of the tomato soup sounds interesting. I bet it gave it a nice rich flavour.

    Great tip about buying the onions pre-chopped – I’ll keep my eye out for them.

    We had a little bit of snow overnight and it’s quite pretty out there right now. Funny winter here in Ontario, eh?

      It sure is a funny winter. We have probably not had more than 20 centimeter the entire season so far! Only had to shovel once 🙂

    Thank you! I went with the black because I love the contrast and it is more of a neutral background to the variety of colours in the Christmas cards!
