- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup water
- Combine beef, celery, carrots, red onion, potatoes, salt, Â pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and tomato paste in the crock pot. I used a 6 qt crockpot for this stew. Â Cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish and pour into the crockpot. Mix until well combined. This will add a nice thickness to the stew. Next add in your frozen peas and corn. Continue cooking covered for 30 minutes.

This is my favorite stew recipe!! I make it all the time for cold rainy days…and any day really! I don’t change a thing, (which, as a person who doesn’t love cooking it’s great to find a recipe that is delicious and simple to follow 100%) It’s always a hit at our annual Halloween/Harvest party as well. Thank you for our favorite stew! It’s the best.
Lovely recipe. I made a few additions (I always do). I used a veg and a beef stock pot instead of beef broth. I added red wine, and Lancashire sauce (I am from the UK), quite a few dashes of tabasco (love hot food) and I included some diced butternut squash.
Thanks for the recipe

This is my go to for cold nights in Kansas! I love the stew I love the spicness to it and my kids love it too. I have shared it many times with family and have received rave reviews for “my stew” lol but I do confess that I got it on line where most have now shared secret family recipes ? keep the good food coming
Thanks from Fort Riley, KS
will this fit in a 4-quart crock pot?
It will be pretty full, but you could take out a couple of the veggies if it isn’t fitting all the way.
For Kelly’s question on what to serve it with, talking about the bread, my Mama always served beef stew over biscuits…just cut them in half after baking & put stew on top. Hope this helps!
