Crock Pot Beef Stew

A

GOOD EATS

hearty meal packed with beef and veggies, this recipe cooks low and slow and is perfect for cold nights. I crave soups, stews and big bowls of comfort foods during the winter months and this beef stew is my all-time favorite recipe. It’s packed with incredible flavor, tender chunks of beef and hearty vegetables. It’s warm, comforting and super simple to prepare. Gina Abernathy Beef Stew is one of the best all-time comfort foods around. Of course, you can dress it up and make it as fancy as you like, but I prefer to keep mine simple and prepare it the old-fashioned way with just a few flavorful ingredients. For this recipe, I will use my crockpot. My crockpot is super helpful in the kitchen. It gets used a lot, and I couldn’t imagine not having one. I just add my ingredients and turn it on. It does the work for me. Dinner is ready and waiting on me when I return home in the evenings. All ingredients complement each other, and not one overpowers the others. As a result, this dish is filling, delicious, hearty and incredibly easy to prepare. Recipes like this inspire me to grab a blanket, sit by a fire and enjoy the evening with a comforting bowl of stew. To complete the meal, serve with cornbread, biscuits, toasted bread or grilled cheese sandwiches. All of these will be perfect for dipping into the gravy.
