I love easy dinner recipes! With the fall weather rearing its ugly head here I have finally been able to bust out the crock pot again. I love that I get to use it more often and the love to have a good warm dinner before we head out to soccer practice in the cold! Stews are one of our favorite kinds of recipes to make but this year with Kylie having braces the meat has been tough for her to able to chew. She doesn’t get to enjoy the meal if the meat is constantly getting stuck or is hard for her 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 and using my 8 quart crock pot was a must for the recipe. It only took 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 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!!)
Hamilton Beach
Slow Cooker, 8-Quart
Hamburger Stew Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Hamburger
- ½ an Onion, Chopped (you could use more we prefer just a little bit of onion)
- 1 Bag of Baby Carrots
- Peeled and cubed potatoes *We used about 7 since they are the kids favorite part
- Minced Garlic to Taste
- 6 oz Can of Tomato Paste
- 3 Cups of water (you could do less if you reduce the number of potatoes)
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Oregano
McCormick Oregano Leaves, 5 oz
Hunt’s Tomato Paste – 12/6ozMcCormick Onion Powder, 22 Ounce
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

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…
Looks great. Something I would like to give a try in the coming weeks
It look good I will try to make it
