Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Slow Cooker Beef Stew is a great entree to make up for lazy days when you don’t want to spend ALL day in the kitchen. It’s so nice tossing everything into the crockpot and forgetting about it. This Beef Stew recipe includes the typical ingredients like potatoes, carrots, celery, tomatoes and mushrooms. It also includes Worcestershire sauce to give it some zip and a lot of delicious herbs to amp up the flavors.

I had a friend who had foot surgery a day after she got back from her dream vacation in Greece. I made two different meals for her. The first one included Ravioli Lasagna, Homemade Bread, Pineapple Chiffon Salad and Blueberry Almond Blondies. I also included some Pineapple Macadamia Muffins for breakfast. The second meal included Slow Cooker Beef Stew, my Easy Homemade No-Knead Dinner Rolls, Church Jello and Almond Fudge Shortbread. They loved both meals, but having this entree in the slow cooker made this meal even easier to toss together.

If you enjoy Beef Stew recipes this one’s a beaut. It’s great for dinner any time of the year, but now that fall is upon us, it’s really so wonderful and comforting–especially if it’s served with homemade rolls. Enjoy.
