Slow Cooker Beef Stew

I got a Slow Cooker for Christmas, and this was my first original recipe! The Captain loved it!

Brown 1 pound lean beef cubes in nonstick skillet.

Peel and thin-slice

and place in bottom of 5-6 quart slow cooker.

Top with


  • 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1/4 teaspoon leaf thyme

  • sauteed beef

  • 1 teaspoon of salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper

Pour over this 1 12-oz can of beer and 1 cup of water.


Cook on Low for 10 hours, or on High for 5 hours.


Serve with green salad. 3-4 generous servings.


Little Miss Moi asked for a picture of a rutabaga - which is also known as a swede. Thanks!

Luciluna? Did you yourself eat the beef stew?

I did, I did!!!! Mostly the veggies, though.

Dear luciluna. What is a rutabuga? Can you take a photo of it, I have never heard of it before (sounds interesting though!)

Dear luciluna. I love swedes, they are delish. Thanks for showing me a picture! I haven't seen one for a while cause you can't get them here (yeh, I know, in the land of root vegetables?? Crazy).
