Looking for a Slow Cooker Beef Stew Recipe?
I was just given a crock pot for Christmas and would like to make Beef Stew, a really good one. Anyone have any great slow cooker recipes??
Answer by Home Girl
Put the following into the slow cooker.
500g diced beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes, 1 chopped red pepper, 1glass red wine. Cook for around 3 hours. Then add 150g red lentils and a finely chopped chilli (or more if you like it spicy) and cook for another 3 hours. Add stock if it gets too dry. it should be served in bowls so it should be sloppy.
Serve with hot crusty bread.

It is so simple to cook with a crock pot and you’ll find that you’ll use it alot once you try it.
You can brown some stew meat then put it in the crock pot with vegetables of your choice and put 1/4 cup water and whatever seasonings you like to use in it and let it cook for 6-8 hours and enjoy. I use mine alot and put everything in it to cook. You can put it on in the am and have a meal at dinner time and it’s so easy to use. You just need to experiment with it and you can really never go wrong.

This recipe is AWESOME! I make double batches and freeze it. We’re not mushroom fans here so we omit them. Also I add peeled and cubed sweet potato and add them 45 mins before it is done (I add the pearl onions at this point too). I’ve done it in the crock pot too 8- 10 on low 4-6 on high.
