Leftover Crockpot Beef Brisket Stew Recipe

Now the last time we had leftover smoked brisket I made Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Chili (see it ->here) so stew was the next logical option, right? Now my kids preferred the stew to the chili, I think because the bread bowls were served.  I loved that the seasonings from the brisket added more flavor to the stew as well.  

Now, this can be made in any size crockpot. I used my 8 Quart crockpot to make this, as I wanted leftovers and we had friends over that night. If you aren’t sure what size crockpot to buy check out my Size Buying Guide for Crockpots.

Crockpot Brisket Stew Recipe Ingredients:

• Brisket– I used leftover Smoked Brisket, adding in the fat chunks from the smoked brisket to “cook” in the stew to add flavor. You can scope those out when done cooking.
• Onion– These will be diced up, you can use onion powder or minced onion as well on this.
• Minced Garlic– Fresh garlic can be substituted in place of minced garlic if you prefer the fresh.
• Beer– I used Corona Beer; I have also used Pacifico in this recipe. Any beer will work.
• Beef Broth– I used Better Than Bouillon Beef to make my broth, but canned beef broth works as well.
• Tomato Paste
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Smoked Paprika– Regular paprika works as well; this is what I had on hand.
• Potatoes– I used russet potatoes this time, but any potato, gold potato, or red potato works in this recipe.
• Baby Carrots
• Celery
• Bread Bowls– Homemade or store-bought, this stew is amazing in bread bowls. I have gotten mine at Safeway before for a great price.  
• Salt and Black Pepper

How To Make Slow Cooker Brisket Stew:

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray, or line your crockpot with a crockpot liner. I made this up in my 8-quart crock, I love that it’s big enough to have leftovers!!  

Slice your leftover beef brisket into small cuts of meat.  (If you need a Beef Brisket recipe I recommend this one -> here with a brown sugar rub!) 

Dice and slice your veggies, you could leave the peels on the potatoes but my kids prefer peeled potatoes. 

Put all your ingredients in your crockpot. I added my Corona Beer with the broth last into the crockpot.

Stir your crockpot and allow to cook on low for about 4 hours until the veggies are tender and cooked fully. 

I served ours in a bread bowl!!

How To Store Leftover Brisket Beef Stew

Store in an air-tight container for three to five days in the fridge. If you are freezing your leftover stew, freeze it in an air-tight container for up to ninety days.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

How To Reheat Lefotver Brisket Stew

If you need to thaw frozen leftover beef stew in the fridge. Once thawed microwave or heat on the stove until at a safe temperature.
