Soup/Chili

Crockpot Beef Stew

Jump to recipe

Once the holidays are over, that last thing you want to do is a big, involved meal. That’s where your crockpot comes in.  Yes, I said crockpot, not Instant Pot.  I have nothing against it, but I am not a fan of change and live by the adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  Plus I have four crockpots of varying sizes, so my slow/fast cooker shelf is full.   But I digress.  Cold winter days beg for soups and stews and this classic beef stew will become a staple.

Comfort food in a bowl

What I love about this is if you’re a night owl like me, you can stick everything in the crockpot the night before and knock it down to warm in the morning and lunch is ready to roll.  Make some cornbread muffins or a quick bread, and you’ve got a stick to your ribs meal that’ll keep you warm and full for hours.  Freeze in batches so “future you” can catch a break for lunch or dinner.   There’s nothing like already having a finished batch ready for a snow day with tender beef and healthy vegetables.  The classics never go out of style, and you can customize it with whatever veggies you have on hand.  The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

  1. Hi, it’s Kristina from Fiesta Friday. I love my slow cookers too! I have yet to try an instant pot, but like you I am more likely to use a crock pot. By the way, this recipe sounds delicious. What great comfort food for the winter.

  2. I love anything made in a crock pot and have been doing soups and stews for years, long before the newer generations have latched onto the idea of slow cooking….LOL Thank you for joining our celebrate your story link party….Kari @ Me and My Captain

  3. Mrs Kringle, I’m a new Instant Pot owner, but I actually got it with the idea of using it in its slow cooker mode. I’ve made beef stew in its pressure cooking mode twice and have learned a couple of things, the most important one being that you need to cut the beef into really big pieces (2-inch cubes) if you don’t want it to disappear! I don’t really see the need for pressure cooking in my life. I’m not the “rush in the door after work, pull out some frozen meat, get dinner on the table in a hurry” type! #BloggersPitStop
