Best i’ve ever eaten.
This is so good! It is exactly what I was hungry for on a cold day. I followed the recipe with the changes of USing one small can of tomato sauce, plus one tablespoon Ketchup instead of one cup Ketchup, and I added peas. I like peas! The onion soup gives plenty of salt and seasoning. I highly recommend this easy and delicious crock pot stew.
Bought all the ingredients tonight…..
but bought 3 lb.s of cubed stew meat….like my stews meaty…lol
Do I need to add anything , to compensate for the extra meat?
Maybe another can of celery soup? I bought extra cans 😉
Gonna try this exact recipe in the next few days. (adding only fresh celery)….and yes, gonna use 1 full cup of ketchup.
If it tastes as good as it looks in your pictures…..can’t wait to taste it!
Hi Tracy! With the extra meat it wouldn’t hurt to add an extra can of the soup. I am a fan of the full 1 cup of ketchup. I’m a ketchup girl, through and through. I hope you enjoy this! It’s my family’s favorite 🙂
I just made this dish. It smells and looks awesome. I actually put 2 bags of baby carrots. the meat actually shredded. Thank you. I look forward to making this again.
Absolutely perfect! I followed the directions to a tee even though I wondered how this was going to work without stirring. I’m glad i didn’t peek – this is exactly the thick tecture I love for a stew. The flavor is awesome and this is going to be in our meal rotation. Thank you for sharing!
Made it mostly true to recipe except adding a few dashes of worcestershire sauce, 2 stalks of celery, and a small handful of fresh parsley. I also used tomato sauce instead of ketchup. We thought it was very good! considering how easy it is, it will be in our rotation!
I’ve made and shared this recipe many times! Absolute perfection!!! Everyone that tries it loves it!
i have a 6 quart Crock-Pot, do you think that will work even though it says 7 quart? I was thinking of making this for my husband and I this week.
Yes a 6 quart should work!
this looks delicious I am going to definitely try this recipe and many more
I was SKEPTICAL after reading several comments that the ketchup took over, or it was too salty. I had bought the ingredients though so i thought why not… it was fantastic! The flavor is so good, it isn’t too salty, or thick, it is perfect beef stew. I did 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1/2 a cup of ketchup, and a little extra potatoes. That is all i changed. So good! Thank you!!
Question my Onion soup mix is 2.0 oz packages, so just to be clear I should just use 1 pk. to make the two 1 oz packages. ?
Yes 🙂
Awesome recipe!
I always like extra veggies, think peas would be a good addition
This was the Best beef stew i’ve ever made. My husband loved it. Very easy to make. I did substitute tomato soup for the ketchup.
Just started the crockpot! Excited to try it!
We made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! I also did a rough calculation of the calories per serving because I was curious, and it came out to 495 calories, in case anyone else is watching their calorie intake and wants to make this. I thought it would be heavy but it’s hearty without being too much! Love it!
Husband and son loved this! Will make again! Easy!
I made this last night. it’s the second time I’ve made it and each time it turned out ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Follwed your recipe exactly how it reads. Thank-you for sharing!
This was amazing.
My family loved this recipe! I use many of your recipes weekly! Thanks!
Perfection! It was really good, i didnt think there woukd be enough gravy but after 8 hours the mixture coated everything perfectly!
This was so good and easy to just dump in the crock pot. I halved the recipe since there were only two of us and there was still plenty.
Thanks for the great recipe!
If you want your stew to be thick, then don’t add anything, but you can add beef broth to thin it out a little. I added 2 cups to this recipe, but you could probably add more and it was delicious!
This stew was delicious! I added 2 cups of beef broth to thin it out a little and my family ate everything! Thanks for the recipe
I made this exactly as written, using tomato sauce. I was skeptical that no liquid is used but stayed true to the recipe except for stirring half way thru cook time. This is the absolute bomb! I am pretty picky too but had no regrets! Great recipe!!!!
