Easy Crock Pot Hamburger Stew Recipe

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. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) 

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!!)

Easy Crock Pot Hamburger Stew Recipe Directions:

Brown the ground beef (I love pulling mine out of the freezer pre-browned see -> here for tips on how to do it)

Prep all your veggies; peel and chop potatoes, onions, and carrots.

I sprayed my crock pot with a non-stick spray, you can choose to skip this step if you’d like!

Combine the beef, carrots, potatoes, and garlic in the crock pot

In a separate bowl whisk together the water, tomato paste, and seasonings

Pour the water mixture over the beef mixture in the crock pot and cover 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
