Beef Stew is one of my favorite slow cooker meals. It is comfort food at its best. Beef, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and green peas. It is our favorite way to eat veggies! They taste SO good slow cooked all day in yummy beef flavors. Complete the meal with some biscuits or cornbread. 
This recipe calls for the stew meat to be browned before adding to the slow cooker. You can do this the night before or skip it all together. I think it adds more flavor and a nice color to the meat, but it isn’t going to ruin the stew if you skip browning the meat. 
This stew was a little thin after it was finished cooking. We prefer a thicker stew, so I added a little cornstarch and water to thicken it up. If you like a thinner beef stew, you can skip that step. Either way, the flavors are great! We ate this for dinner and lunch the next day. SO good!!

  1. It’s in the crockpot right now!! Smells and looks delicious!! Still have 2 hours left of cooking!! Only difference I made was I left out the celery because I just forgot it! Left out the peas because we don’t like them but added a bag of frozen corn and a bag of frozen green beans. I’m dying to try it!!

  2. Hey Steph, what's the purpose of dredging the meat in sugar? Does it just make a better crust? Never seen that before. You're always teaching me something new. šŸ™‚
