Beef Stew

No reviews

My mother’s simple yet time-honored recipe. Like any good stew, it is highly versatile! This could be a make-ahead recipe to put in the freezer– you would just need to leave out the potatoes and cook them separately when it’s time to serve this meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 carrots, cut up
  • 4 potatoes, cut up
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup celery, chopped. Put celery tops in stew for flavor and remove when serving.
  • 1 tomato, cut up, or 1/2 jar of tomato sauce
  • Other vegetables (use whatever you have around that you need to use up!): corn, green beans, peas, lima beans, etc. If these vegetables are already cooked, add them during the last two hours.
  • 1 lb. beef cubes, or round steak/bottom round cut into cubes
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a crock pot on low for 8 hours.
