Slow Cooker Beef and Mushroom Stew

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This Stew on the Stovetop Instead of the Slow Cooker?

Yes! Sear the beef and sauté the vegetables in a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.

Is It Possible to Use Frozen Beef?

It’s best to thaw the beef before using it for the best texture and to avoid extending the cooking time.

Can I Double the Recipe?

Certainly! Just make sure your slow cooker is large enough. For optimal results, don’t fill the slow cooker more than two-thirds full.

How Do I Thicken the Stew?

A slurry made from flour or cornstarch works well. Add it during the last 30 minutes of cooking, or simply let the stew cool slightly, which will thicken it naturally.
