Hearty Slow Cooker Beef Stew
I’m very fortunate to have so many great memories growing up as a child.
And several of those memories are of my Mom cooking meals for her four kids.
One of the meals my Mom would make was a nice big pot of beef stew.
There’s no replacement for a home cooked meal
These days, there are so many restaurant eat-in & delivery options, as well as fast food.
It makes it so easy to skip making a meal and just have someone else do all the work.
But there’s just nothing like being home, smelling the comforting aroma of a good meal cooking, made by your Momma.
Slow Cooker Beef Stew is So Easy to Prepare
And it’s so easy to prepare and throw into your slow cooker!
Then you can move on to whatever you have to do for the day ahead of you.
Come Home to a Prepared Meal
Then, later on, when you get home, you’ll most likely make a bee line to your slow cooker.
You’ll smell the wonderful smell of ‘homemade’ and lift the slow cooker lid to see the raw ingredients transformed into a big pot of comfort-food goodness!

Notes
Serve with Hot French Bread
Whenever I make this recipe, I serve it along with some steaming hot french bread.
It’s so stick-to-your ribs good and you can guarantee that your family will be going back for seconds.
Tips on Ingredients
As is noted in the recipe, make sure that you slice your carrots very thin and dice your potatoes small.
This will ensure that they are cooked through.
You would think that after cooking for 4 to 6 hours, the carrots and potatoes would be well cooked through.
However, for some reason slow cookers are different than cooking on your stove top.
I used white potatoes and I omitted the bay leaf.
I’m just not a fan of bay leaves.
In addition, white potatoes tend to cook better than baking potatoes in a slow cooker.
With colder days approaching, this Hearty Slow Cooker Beef Stew will hit the spot for you and your family.
