Crock Pot -
Old Fashioned Beef Stew Recipe
by Shelly Hill |
|
|
During the fall
and winter months, I enjoy making hearty soups and stews in my
crock pot for my family. I love the fact that I can spend a few
minutes in the morning preparing it, put it into the slow cooker
and walk away...a few hours later, our dinner is hot and ready
to enjoy. |

The following recipe was given
to me by my 83 year old great aunt about 25 years ago. To this
day, I still enjoy making it for my family. If you don't like
okra, you can certainly omit it from the recipe. At times, I
have actually substituted the okra with some fresh green beans
or green peas, and the stew was just as delicious.
Old-Fashioned Beef Stew Recipe
2
lbs. beef cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1

In a large frying pan, heat up
the vegetable oil over medium heat. Brown beef cubes on all sides.
In your crock pot combine
the browned beef cubes, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, onion,
bouillon, pepper, salt, granulated sugar and the vegetables listed
in the recipe. Pour in 4 1/2 cups of water and stir so that everything
is combined.
Cover and set
the dial to high heat and slow cook for 6 hours. Remove lid and
stir in flour if it is needed to thicken the soup. Replace lid
and turn the dial to low heat and simmer for 1-2 additional hours.
This recipe will make 6 hearty
servings. |
