Ingredients:
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cans stewed tomatoes
- 12 oz beef stew meat
- 1 potato, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions:
-
Rehydrate Tomatoes: If using dried tomatoes, follow the package instructions for rehydration. Drain and coarsely chop. Alternatively, you can use canned tomatoes, undrained.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a crock pot slow cooker, combine the diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, beef stew meat, diced potatoes, chopped onions, water, and seasoning salt.
-
Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat setting for 8 to 9 hours, or until the vegetables and beef are tender and infused with flavor.
-
Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water and flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the beef and vegetable mixture in the slow cooker.
-
Final Cooking: Cover the slow cooker again and switch to high heat setting. Let it cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the stew is slightly thickened to your liking.
-
Serve: Once done, carefully remove the bay leaf from the stew. Ladle the hot beef stew into bowls and serve it piping hot, perhaps with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of fluffy rice for a hearty meal that’s sure to warm you up from the inside out.
This Slow-Cooker Beef Stew is not only simple to prepare but also incredibly flavorful, making it an ideal choice for busy days or cozy nights in. Enjoy the tender chunks of beef, perfectly cooked potatoes, and the savory broth that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.
