This was delicious! I substituted the celery soup for cream of potato because that was what I had on hand. Hubby, kids, and I all agreed this recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing!
I just made this this morning I’m excited to try it however I forgot to grease the crockpot will this make a big difference??
I don’t think it will be a problem at all.
Next time use Slow Cooker liners, found next to the Ziplock bags in the grocery stores.
plan on making a version of this tonight… I am going to put it on high though seeing I am staring it in the afternoon instead of being able to let is sit all day on low. I am also going to use cream of mushroom and nix the ketchup.. I might add crushed tomato because I know I have that and not paste.. not sure yet. I will let you know how it come out.
I made this tonight and it was wonderful ! I’m not a fan of ketsup so I used 1 cup of tomatoe sauce. It was perfect !! Thank you for the delicious recipe !!
I am following your choice w tom sauce and holding my breath, it is in the crock on high, for 4.5 hours maybe. Hope it is good!
I want to make this tomorrow. Could I mix up everything tonight put in fridge & add potatoes in the morning?
Made this tonight and loved it!!!
I made this this weekend and we loved it! I subbed the ketchup for a can of tomato soup and the flavor was wonderful! Next time I think I will cut the meat in half and maybe add celery since I love soups with heavy veggies! Thanks for sharing!
Thought it very odd there was no liquid so I added a cup of water. Prefer my stew with plenty of broth.
I am currently making this beef stew and after reading the comments about the ketchup, is there any thing I can add to the stew in the event the ketchup it’s too overpowering?
So after re-reading the instructions, I realized I didn’t grease the inside of the pot beforehand Hope that won’t make such a difference! Will post my opinion after dinner!
Best stew I have ever had!! Love this so much. Opposed to the others who didn’t like ketchup I didn’t taste it much at all but am a big ketchup fan thanks for a great dinner even for a college kid!
As a college student..this was super easy to make this morning. My husband and I love trying new recipes and can’t wait for dinner tonight. I will comment later on how it tastes/any changes I would make. The only change I made while making it (since I read the other comments from people) was the ketchup. I did 3-4 squirts of ketchup and stirred it with the cream of celery soup and see if that will make a difference or not. (;
Thanks Holly!!
Just a quick question.is the cream of celery soup and ketchup the only thing for the juices? . Or am i supposed to add water to?
They will turn into a creamy gravy. So no, dont add water 🙂
Just add tomato sauce instead of ketchup.
My family loves this recipe! I am in need of the nutritional facts if possible please!! Thank you in advance.
I replaced the ketchup with tomato sauce soo rich and yummy and no tomato flavor at all
Hope so as I did the same, it is in the crock and I am nervous…HH
Made this today. Just delicious. I did add a little pepper, and Worcestershire. Yummy
Question could I do this in a pressure Cooker??? I got one for Christmas as a gift and can’t find any recipes I think my family would enjoy but this looks wonderful. TIA
I loved this stew!! One of the best! I used about 1/3rd cup of catsup. Just wonderful!!!
Question – what could I substitute the cream of celery soup with, since my husband is lactose intolerant?
I made this for dinner tonight working with what I had on hand so I had less carrots, one less potato, and half the meat, however it turned out 10000000000% DE-FREAKIN-LICIOUS!!!! I did change a few things though, because my two year old was to be eating it as well, I chopped the baby carrots into thirds, I also only used 1/3 of the ketchup since some of the comments suggested it was too much, added a splash of worcestershire and a splash of ACV! It is soo good!!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!!
I wanted a more beefy flavor so I used 1/2 cup ketchup and added 2 beef bouillon cubes. very yummy. My entire family enjoys this and many other recipes you have shared.
This worked perfect, way less ketchup taste and makes for an awesome beef stew recipe, I added a bit of beef broth too. Love beefy tasting beef stew!
Just put it in the crock pot! So excited to try. I’m with some of the others…I do not love an overpowering taste of ketchup so I made a change…I put 1/4 C ketchup and 3/4 cup beef broth. We shall see! Hope it’s good because we have company coming! 🙂
Do you really need a 7 qt slow cooker for this? I have a 5 or 6 qt and I would think that would be. If enough since it only makes 8 cups.
I think a 6 qt would be fine as well
I made this tonight and it was sooooo delicious! I added a can of diced tomatoes and peas! Soooo yummy! Thanks for the awesome dinner!
The ketchup made it to sweet and taste a lot like ketchup. I added beef broth to simmer down the ketchup taste and some black pepper. Helped a lot and taste better. I also added some parsley towards the end. Taste a lot better.
