This hearty stew with chunks of beef and vegetables in a beer broth is perfect on a cold winter’s night.
1 lb cubed stewing beef
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 1/2 cups baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
1 large russet potato, cubed
1 can beer
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Combine all ingredients in a crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
I was originally going to make my Belgian Beef Stew, but it became this recipe out of sheer laziness. I hate having to cook things before putting them in the crockpot, because isn’t the whole point of the crockpot that it does the cooking for you? So I just threw everything in the pot and let the crockpot work its magic. It turned out great! I served it with fresh homemade bread, and everyone loved using the bread to sop up the tasty broth. Here’s the best part- Cole ate it!! I couldn’t believe he actually ate an entire dinner. That doesn’t happen very often, so I’d say this one’s a keeper.
My kids like to whine, especially when it comes to the food they eat, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make tasty and healthy meals for them. Follow along as I share family-friendly recipes and reviews from my picky family members, who I lovingly call “The Whine Critics.”
