Hi, I’ve noticed there are posts asking if this recipe can be made without using a crockpot. What are your thoughts..in the oven?
Thanks.
i used cream of broccoli soup and it tasted fantastic. I also used frozen stew veggies and cut the recipe in half
I made this recIpe tonight for dinner- it is the best beef stEw i have ever had! My husband is a huge fan as well! We will DEFINITELY be adding this in our normal Fall/Winter rotation. I Followed the eXact recipe, except instead of adding 1 cup of ketchup i put in 2/3 cup. This is a delicious recipe! Thank you!
Haylie, SO happy to hear your family loved it! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Can i make this on a stove?
i liked the recipe but it turned out extremely sweet unfortunately. I assume because i used ketchup. Will try with tomato sauce next tIme.

Made this several times now. The first time, followed the recipe exactly. Thought it was wayyy too ketchupy. The next time, we cut the ketchup in half, & it was better! Made it again last night & used tomato soup instead of the ketchup all together & it was our favorite! Great recipe!

Hi all!
Threw this super easy recipe together in my crockpot before work and cAme Home to super yummy dinner 🙂 i have a 4 qt crock pot so baSically cUt the recipe in half.. used 2 Medium yellow potaToes (left skin on for my preference, adds good Flavor and texTure), 2 carrots, 1 pckg onion soup mix, and substituted 1 8 oz Canned tomato sauce for the ketchUp. I still Did 1 C sauce and about half of the can of Water as i wanted a bit More “gravy”— still came out thick like a stew not Too soupy. Will make again!! So so easy and tasty
Great RECIPIE! I JUST MADE THIS A FEW NIGHTS AGO & IT WAS A HIT! NO CONCERNS WITH BEING SALTY WHATSOEVER. I USED A RUMP ROAST FROM OUR FREEZER BEEF AND CUBED IT. I’M NOT A BIG KETCHUP FAN, HOWEVER I DIDN’T OMIT IT FROM THE RECIPIE I JUST USED ABOUT 1/3 CUP. I DID ADD ABOUT 1/3 CAN OF WATER WITH THE CREAM OF CELERY. RESULTS WERE DELICIOUS! I WILL MAKE AGAIN.
This is so delicious “but” i would def use tomato saUCe instead of ketcup. In my opinion the ketcup made it to salty! Pair it with corn bread and man ol’ man your belly will be so happy!
Absolutely easy and DELICIOUS! I Willbe making tHis Often.
Very good! Will be makin it again
This recipe made my house smell amazing. It was so easy and delicious. I Subbed a can Of cream of mushroom Soup for one of the celery soups and I salt and peppered the veggies before adding the soup ketchup mixture. We are definitely making this again.
This sounds yummy! Will definitely make this. I love stew. Do you think Cream of asparagus would work – my husband is not a fan of Celery?
Hi Debbie! Yes, any creamed soup will work fine 🙂
Idk how recent comments are but I’ve been making this recipe for years now. And yes. Add liquid. I do a can of water and a can of milk. And it ends up with the right amount of broth. You can also just use baby potatoes. Which will cut down on prep time. And I also mix meat and onion mix right in crock pot and works just fine
I Made this recipe tonight and it was amazing! Definitely my new go to roast recipe!
And Just to settle the debate, I substituted cream of celery with cream of mushroom and ketchup with tomato sauce, it still came out great! I also spread one can of the mushroom soup on the bottom of the crock pot so the meat wouldn’t stick and combined the other can with tomato sauce and poured on top.
