SLOW COOKER ITALIAN BEEF STEW



Slow Cooker Italian Beef Stew image

Best beef stew I've ever made! I apologize for the vague instructions, the ingredient amounts are approximate as well as I did this over the weekend but did not note amounts. It turned out so good I wanted to save what I did so I could make again! Chicken broth can be used instead of beef broth if desired.

Time 13m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
1 (15 ounce) can condensed beef broth
1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup water
2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced Italian-style tomatoes
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours.
  • Stir in beans, Turn heat to HIGH and cook 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Pick the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or bottom round roast are great choices for a slow-cooked stew. They become tender and flavorful when cooked for a long period of time.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker: This step adds flavor and color to the stew. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, or use the sauté function on your slow cooker.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overload the slow cooker: The food should not fill the slow cooker more than two-thirds full. This allows the food to cook evenly.
  • Cook the stew on low for at least 8 hours: This will give the beef time to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the stew over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Tuscan beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. This recipe is slow cooker friendly, which means that you can set it and forget it until dinner is ready.
