Easy Crock Pot Hamburger Stew Recipe is one of those easy fall and winter crock pot meals. Now it’s no secret like most other moms I love easy dinner recipes! Stews are one of our favorite kinds of recipes to make but when Kylie had braces the meat was tough for her to able to chew.(I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own and we love. You can buy them as well through my online sales links)
We searched around on Pinterest and found some Hamburger Stew ideas, but I took inspiration from The Magical Slow Cooker to create this dinner. I love that it only takes a couple minutes to throw the ingredients together and get it cooking and the end result was amazing!
Plus since I used my 8-quart crock pot (you can get one -> here on Amazon) means that was able to have the leftovers!! You can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order and bam UPS man is saving dinner time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime?? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

I was wondering if you could use tomato sauce and use 2 cups of water

I make a version of this but i call mine poor man’s stew.. .I brown the hamburger meat, drain it and add to a soup pot, cube up as many potatoes as you want, put either some canned, frozen or fresh carrots, use some corn, green beans, onions, and depending on how much you are making I use 2-3 small cans of tomato sauce or a big one and add water to the can to pour in the pot…. then I add two packages of the McCormick beef stew seasoning packages and turn it on medium on the stove and just cook till the potatoes are done… It comes out fantastic.. My son and I eat it with mustard and crackers… or you could make corn bread to go with it…. It’s been a staple in our house for years but especially in the winter… and i forgot i do add black pepper to my soup because we like it just a little peppery but not too much…
