Notes
Recipe Tips
- Brown Ground Beef - Before adding to the slow cooker, make sure to brown ground beef.
- Chopping Vegetables - When preparing the stew, make sure to chop vegetables about the same size. This allows them to cook about the same time.
- Peas - We recommend adding peas into the stew when you have about an hour left of cooking time. I usually add them when I am preparing the side to serve with the stew.
- Change the Meat - Yes, this recipe is so easy to use other items. We have used ground turkey before and the meal was just as amazing. We have also combined ground turkey and ground beef.
- Tomato Soup - We have even used tomato soup before when I didn't have tomato sauce and the ground beef potatoes mixture was amazing and so flavorful.
- Other Sauces - Sometimes I will add a dash of worcestershire sauce or red wine to the beef broth for added flavor. Some call this stew poor man stew because it can be made so frugally but it is so delicious.
- Vegetables - We liked using carrots, onions, celery, and russet potatoes. But you can definitely use what veggies you have on hand.
