Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs stewing beef
  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch (optional)
  • 1/2 cup water (optional)

Directions:

  1. Basic Info about the ingredients:.
  2. This recipe is very forgiving - so if you only have 3 potatoes, no biggie. The important thing is that you get what you have in a crockpot!
  3. Amount of beef is flexible - just buy around amount called for and don't sweat being exact.
  4. All veggies need to be washed & cut into thick slices or chunks.
  5. Potatoes should be left UNPEELED. I prefer red potatoes because I always leave the peel on - Yukon Gold are also a good choice).
  6. Ready? Here Goes!
  7. Dump beef in crockpot.
  8. Dump thickly sliced carrots, thick chunks of potato, celery & onion in crockpot.
  9. Open can of diced tomatoes with the juice, pour on top of beef and veggies.
  10. Dump 1 cup water and about a palm-sized amount of salt in the crockpot and give it a bit of a stir.
  11. Set crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours. If it ends up cooking longer - no biggie. It won't hurt the stew.
  12. If you feel the stew is too liquid- right before you get ready to serve, you can add 4 tablespoons of corn starch to about 1/2 cup of water until dissolved and pour over stew and stir until the broth thickens.
