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.

How To Make Crock Pot Hamburger Stew:

Prep all your veggies; peel and chop potatoes, onions, and carrots.
I sprayed my crockpot with a non-stick spray, you can choose to skip this step if you’d like! If you want you can also use Slow Cooker Liners.
Combine the beef, carrots, onion, potatoes, and garlic in the crockpot
In a separate bowl whisk together the water, tomato paste, and the seasonings.
Pour the water mixture over the beef mixture in the crockpot and cover it with a lid.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours until done. Be sure to watch the liquid level for the potatoes to cook all the way. If it gets low before the stew is done cooking be sure to add some more!
Serve with bread bowls or bread.

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!

Jenny says
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.
Lynnie says
Can you double this recipe in a crock pot?
Jenny says
You could!! Just make sure you have enough liquid
Stephanie says
What kind of potatoes did you use? Red or just regular baking potatoes?
Jenny says
I used russet potatoes but you can use any potato in it.
Measha says
Can this be cook on high for 4hours?
Jenny says
It should be. Cut the potatoes and carrots a bit smaller to make sure they cook well.
John says
Would love some crock pot recipes but I have to tell you I am a meat and potatoes kinda bloke not a fan of vegetables
Jenny says
May I recommend this soup for you John? https://cookeatgo.com/crockpot-sausage-potato-soup/ It is amazing without the extra vegetables.
Barbara Harper says
