Easy Beef and Vegetable Stew In The Crockpot

The great thing about a crockpot is that you can throw any leftovers in and make an awesome beef stew or soup.

Crockpots get a "bad rap" for being crappy old school grandma recipes.  I'm here to tell you that crockpots are AMAZING and affordable and will save you time and money. They will also pop out a delicious dinner at the same time.

Make substitutions in this crockpot beef and vegetable stew recipe using up whatever vegetables are in the fridge or freezer. Try to get the amount of vegetable ingredients somewhat proportional to the recipe.

Don't have cajun seasoning?  No problem.  Wing it and use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and cayenne.

Wanna add a touch of richness and sweetness? Throw in a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.

Hey y'all!

I’m Beckie Hemmerling. I love food and glorify it sometimes but also think of it on a basic level of providing strength & nourishment. Cooking has helped me *try* to figure out life, not just my own, but also other peoples.

My clients keep me on my toes and contribute to my personal & professional growth more than words can say…. More background info →
