Fall is officially here…it’s my favorite season of the year! Tonight we had a delicious meal of Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Stew and Apple Crumble for dessert. The meal would have been delicious with a side of homemade cornbread, but it was delicious the way it was.
Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Stew is a great meal to throw together and the morning and eat for dinner, especially on those cool fall days. It is hearty, delicious, and you have your protein and veggies all in one bowl!
Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Stew Recipe
This Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Stew is hearty and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of stew meat (cooked or uncooked) or leftover pot roast
- 1 ½ cups of corn
- 1 ½ cups of cut green beans
- 1 ½ cups of potatoes, chopped in bite sized pieces
- 2 cups of baby carrots
- 1 small can of tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes or ½ fresh onion, chopped
- 1 packet of MSG free beef bouillon cubes or packets or organic beef broth (reduce water if you use broth)
- 3 cups of water
Instructions
Add all ingredients to the Crock Pot and stir to combine.
Cook on high for 8-9 hours. To cook on low, make sure it cooks 10-12 hours or longer, depending on how done you like for your carrots to be.
Do you add anything else to your beef stew to make it amazing? I’d love to know!

I use leftover coffee if I have it, instead of some of the water. Adds interesting flavor...

You might always make sure that you have TONS of liquid if you're going to cook it that long and be gone. I think that's the key to not burning it. You might even add some more water to this, I would hate for it to burn! I've had things burn and it was almost always because it went dry. And about the bouillon cube.....I always just throw it in the bottom, but I'm usually around to stir during the day. Dissolving it in water beforehand might be a good idea in your case. Good luck!

That looks so yummy Gena! I haven't cooked anything in crockpot but a lot of my married friends swear by using crockpot to save on cooking time so I'll try this recipe as soon as I get one. :)

I go through phases, but the Fall really is a great time to use the Crock Pot. Good luck!
