Incredibly simple and fantastically tasty!!

Have some beef with your beer! This special Guinness stew is easy to make, but gets a smoky depth of flavor from the tasty stout. We suggest bulking it up with extra veggies of your choice.

"Beef stew doesn't get any easier than in a slow cooker. Make it in the morning and leave it unattended until dinner time."

At just 260 calories per serving, this hearty stew will carry you straight through the winter months!

After a long day, sit down to a hearty meal of tender beef, slow-cooked carrots, and melt-in-your-mouth mushrooms and onions.

Set this up in the morning, or you can even do the dicing and chopping the night before, store potatoes covered with water. Combine in the morning, set, and come home to a satisfying home cooked meal.

I came up with this variation on my own, using what I had on hand, as I usually do. I added in Curry Powder and switched out the regular flour with whole wheat, unbleached flour. I also found that Extra Lean Stew Beef is becoming more available and it comes out just as "melt-in-your-mouth" tender as the regular, more fattening stew chunks can be. My husband LOVED it and so did I, and we're picky eaters. LOL

Hearty, healthy comfort food loaded with extra veggies. Dish up!

8 points. Honey-sweetened beef stew, also known as tzimmes, is a classic Jewish recipe. Toss all the ingredients into a slow cooker for a fabulous, no-fuss holiday meal.

4 servings, about 1-2/3 cups each

I had a pound of stew beef, but didn't want traditional beef stew. So, I made a take on italian white bean stew and added quinoa for added protein.

Thinking quickly while grocery shopping I knew I wanted to do this stew in the crock pot and the clock was ticking! With the thought of adding spice I went with chipotles in adobo sauce to be the star flavor accompanied by the typical stew vegetables. Browning the meat before cooking helps sear in the juices, but the corn, sour cream and cilantro help balance it to a surprising level.

I had a bunch of vegetables that I wanted to consume, so this beef stew was the result. I divided it up into 6 two cup servings, but if you're watching calories, try only one cup along with a slice of bread. I was very pleased with how this came out!

Beef, Barley, Veggies, and Lentils!
