Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a casserole dish or crock-pot.
- Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 5 hours or cook in a crock-pot on low for the same duration.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, sear the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the casserole or crock-pot to enhance flavor. If you prefer a thicker stew, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water during the last hour of cooking. You can substitute beef with chicken or add more vegetables like bell peppers or celery for variety. This dish is great for meal prep and pairs well with Pat'S Texas "Hot Hash" Cornbread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty stew with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal. It’s also delicious alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. For a comforting touch, consider pairing it with some buttery mashed potatoes or a slice of cornbread, like Stayaway Stew.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in a covered dish until heated through. If the stew thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen vegetables in this stew?
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables if you prefer. Just add them in during the last hour of cooking to prevent them from becoming too mushy. This makes for a convenient option when you're short on time or fresh produce.
How do I adjust the cooking time for a larger batch?
If you’re making a larger batch, you may need to extend the cooking time slightly, especially if using a crock-pot. A good rule of thumb is to add an extra hour for every additional pound of meat, but keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Is this stew suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! This stew freezes well. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers. It can be stored for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating for best results.
