Easy Crock Pot Hamburger Stew Recipe is one of those easy fall and winter crockpot 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 affiliate links to products I love.

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 of 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!!)

Recipe Notes

*You could do less if you reduce the amount of potatoes
Gloria says
I was wondering if you could use tomato sauce and use 2 cups of water
Kim says
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…

Thank you!

At that time I was mainly using white onions. YOu can use either white, red, or yellow onion. If the ids aren’t onion fans you can use just minced onion.
For potatoes, I peel and cute down potatoes. But I have thrown in baby potatoes before and the kids love it. It just depends on what I have on hand.
Lynn says
Btw….Omit the seasonings if using knorr’s soup to it.
