Crockpot Beef Stew Recipes

created 5/28/09
It's important to layer vegetables under meat in a crockpot as they take longer to cook. The root vegetables needing the most time. Along with that, layering them like this allows all the ingredients on top to exude their juices and cook-down to flavor everything below.
I prefer to leave the roast whole as this allows me to remove the fat and cut the meat to my own preference after, which is of course, falling apart and fork tender. It also allows me to separate the roast and freeze some for the future or having the vegetables, which are yummy in their own right, without the beef, for meals I don't want red meat.
I make this as a batch meal, portion it out and keep it in the fridge for a week as something quick and filling.

This is so simple & so good ... I usually use stew beef instead of chuck roast.

This is the base for beef stew, pot pie or other beef dishes.

We use it as an all-purpose base to start the week's recipes.

For example, Monday is beef and gravy on rice, part of the leftovers on Tuesday become pot pie, Wednesday uses another bit of the leftovers with some sour cream and egg noodles. Thursday sees the last of the leftovers turned into vegetable soup or beef stew. By Friday we are tired of beef and eat vegetables.

I found a recipe that sounded good but didn't have the ingredients for so I mashed this together with what I had lying around the house. We have seven people at the house so I generally cook a large meal with extra servings as leftovers.
