Hi Marilyn,
Yum, yum , yum! I love beef stew! It’s our winter here so just perfect! My crock pot is my favorite kitchen appliance.
Jennifer
Perfect Jennifer! I love this stew and just know you will too. I use my crock pot and microwave sometimes more than my oven. I am all for quick and easy most of the week. Enjoy!
Sounds yummy! We usually do ours in a dutch oven. Thanks for sharing the recipe with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I have used a pressure cooker in the past. The dutch oven method sounds god too. Thanks Jann!
Sounds yummy but it’s too hot here to think of stew yet! My husband wouldn’t be happy if I tried to pull that one over on him but I’m always looking for a good beef stew recipe.
I like it on the dreary and rainy days. Fortunately here in Michigan, that can be anytime. AC in the morning and heat on at night. Enjoy!
I love my crock pot! It’s my best friend and I can say I am never looking back! Meals are so easy to do and I love that the entire family can enjoy the yummy goodness! This recipe seems pretty straightforward and easy. I can’t wait to try!
Maureen
These exact reasons are why I love my crock pot. Most of the recipes I make in it are just as quick and easy as this one. Have a great week
Like you, I love using my crock pot. This looks like a tasty dinner, and yes, it can wait until you get to it!
Crock pots are my saving grace. I am glad to hear you enjoy yours as much as I do. Enjoy your week!
We do love crock pot recipes at our house and this stew looks marvelous. I can almost smell it wafting through my kitchen right now!
This is my fallback meal when I am going to have a tough day. 10 minutes to throw together and done when we get home. All 5 of us can eat when we are ready and there is almost no clean up! Enjoy Amy.
Well, at the rate of whats going on with me. Sometimes I think I won’t cope up with the demands of everyday as I am working, a mom and a wife plus we have a pet cat here. This crock pot beef stew is worth it. There are three things I learned from you. First, chocolate peanut butter combo is everlasting…ha ha ha! Second, pie will save me all the time. Third, crock pot stew is a versatile choice of preparation as always. Thank you Marilyn and have a great weekend
You are so cute Mareliz. I totally understand the pace and challenges of being a working woman. But remember that with all that is required of you, taking time to celebrate YOU is the most important. When you are not 100% the battle to get things done and choose what can wait is already lost. I am glad you find some comfort in my blog. My theory is, the “most” isn;t always the “best”. Quick, easy and healthy is always #1! Enjoy your week.
This sounds (and looks) delicious! I always love crock pot meals because they are so quick and easy to prepare!
Thanks Kim! They are also my favorite. Since I discovered the liners, the cleanup is just wipe with a soapy sponge! Enjoy and thanks for commenting.
