Slow Cooker Easy Beef Stew Recipe

Beef stew is a hardy meal for a busy winter weeknight. This recipe makes a serving of eight. So, you can keep the leftovers for another day. I don't know if I would freeze it though because the potatoes usually don't freeze well. But, could be used for the next day's lunch or even a quick dinner later on in the week. I didn't use a lot of salt in the recipe so use your judgment on how much salt to use. Read on to learn how I made this Slow Cooker (Affiliate Link) Easy Beef Stew Recipe. This recipe is a serving of eight.

After thoughts:

It did get a bit soupy so if you do not want it to be more watery, use less broth.
