Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Stew

Ingredients fo the Slow Cooker

A stew cooked all day in the slow cooker is not only an easy meal, but it’s delicious and comforting as well. I put this one on when we have a busy day planned and want to end the day with a home-cooked meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds stewing beef, cubed
  • 4 russet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut in quarters
  • 2 chopped onions
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut in chunky pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
  • 1 small can of tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
  • 2 bay leaves

To Add 5 Minutes Before Cooking is Done:

  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons water

Add the first list of ingredients to your slow cooker and turn on low. Cook for about 6-8 hours, or until everything is tender. A lot of recipes call for really long cooking times, but then the stew is complete mush and I’m not a fan myself.

About 5 minutes before you’re done cooking, add the corn and peas. Mix the flour with water until it forms a smooth paste. Add it to the stew and let the stew cook on high temperature, with the lid removed.

Remove the bay leaves and then enjoy!
