Slow Cooker Crock Pot

Preparing beef stew in a slow cooker may not be as quick as grabbing something from a fast food joint, but once you’ve made the effort to create them, you won’t be disappointed, and neither will your companions at your meals.

Beef Stew Mixed with Beans

Prepare the following: a cup of lentils (washed and dried), navy beans (2 cups, cooked), a couple of cups of celery, onions (1 cup, minced), barley (1 and ½ cup), carrots (7 pieces), sugar (brown and light, ½ cup), half a teaspoon of leaf thyme, and 2 pounds of beef.

You will also need black pepper (1 teaspoon), red wine (2 cups), 3 cups of vegetable juice, and a cup of water.

Start by putting the beef stew in the slow cooker, and spray some pepper, barley, thyme, sugar and carrots. Pour in the red wine. Press low on the crock pot, and permit 10 hours to pass before the meat softens. When it is set, get rid of the bay leaf. Take the beef stew in the slow cooker and put on a plate.

Beef Stew with Apple Cider

To make this recipe, you will need several carrots (10 pieces), 8 potatoes (chopped), 3 pounds of lean meat, a couple of diced apples, a teaspoon of thyme, salt (1 teaspoon), a cup of sliced onion and apple cider (3 cups).

Take the carrots, apple cider and the potatoes and mix them well before throwing in the pot. Now put the beef stew in the slow cooker and sprinkle some salt, thyme and the sliced onion. Pour in some cider. Close the lid and set to low. Wait about an hour before it is cooked, and add flour and water (2 tablespoons each) and after a few minutes, it’s set.

Beef Stew Mixed with Beer

You will need 4 pounds of steak, a can of beer, onion and gravy mix (1 package each), and half a cup of flour.

Open the crock pot and pour in the beer, onion and gravy. Next cut the beef and dust it with some flour, and when coated put the beef stew in the slow cooker. Stir so that the four mixes in with the other ingredients.

After 10 hours the meat will be tender. In the meantime prepare some rice. Remove the beef stew in the slow cooker and set on a serving bowl with the juices.

A blend of vegetables, meat and seasonings make these recipes ideal for both adults and children. With plenty more varieties available, cooking beef stews in a slow cooker will be something you’ll look forward to.
