🍂 Fall Begins in the Kitchen: Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Stew 🥣🌿

There is something especially comforting about a pot of beef stew simmering away on a cool fall day. And with the first day of fall arriving alongside Kitchen History Day, this recipe feels just right.

Generations ago, a pot of beef, potatoes and garden vegetables might have simmered for hours on the back of a cookstove. Today, I’m making much the same kind of comforting meal in my slow cooker. The equipment may have changed, but the tradition of gathering around a warm, nourishing meal has not. ❤️

🌿 RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Stew

Ingredients

• 1–1½ lb Walmart lean beef stew meat
• 1–1½ lb The Little Potato Company Mixed Medley potatoes, halved as needed
• 1 bag Great Value Frozen Mixed Vegetables
• 4 cups Swanson Unsalted Beef Broth
• 1 can (6 oz) Hunt’s No Salt Added Tomato Paste
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, optional
• 1–2 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt at the table, if desired

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the stew beef on all sides. It does not need to cook through.
2. Place the potatoes in the slow cooker and add the browned beef.
3. Whisk the tomato paste into the beef broth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and seasonings, then pour over the beef and potatoes.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
5. Add the frozen mixed vegetables during the last 60–90 minutes so they stay colorful and don’t become overly soft.
6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

For a thicker stew: Mix 1½ tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir into the hot stew during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking and allow it to thicken.

🍂 A little RosemaryThyme thought:
Kitchens change. Cooking methods change. But the simple pleasure of preparing something warm and comforting for the people we love never goes out of style.
