Crock Pot Recipes - How To Make Beef Stew

Recently I was looking for some interesting crock pot recipes for a beef stew. I ended up finding a recipe for beef stew that uses a can of beer in the recipe. I have made this recipe for two gatherings(I call it beef stew for a crowd) and it go rave reviews at both.

The beef stew broth used 2 cups of beef broth which added to the beef flavor of the stew.

For the stew meat I actually buy a few steaks and cut them up, some people say waste of a good steak but nothing tastes better.

Something about cooking a stew for 8 hours that just makes it taste so awesome. Even the carrots in the stew had an amazing taste and I hate carrots.

That's what I love about a basic stew recipe, it is easy to put together and throw in the slow cooker.

Now I just wish I could find more slow cooker recipes. Recently I have been investigating a beef stew casserole, I will let you know how it turns out!
