Easy beef stew in the crockpot

[@donnamckee1807]

I have used instant potato flakes to thicken beef stew before. It worked good.

[@sandyr4656]

Me too! I use them in chicken soups, & chicken and dumplings too! Works great

[@cynthiasanchez6346]

I never knew that and might try it! Very good information. Thank you! 🥰🇺🇸

[@NancyD...]

They work very well, I use it in potato soup

[@sandrahudziec723]

@donnamckee1807 how much would i use i use 1 carnton beef broth thank u if u answer back😊

[@donnamckee1807]

@@sandrahudziec723 I sprinkle a little bit at a time until I get the thickness I want. I don't measure.

[@birdhead73]

The reason it didn't thicken is because cornstarch needs to be brought to certain temp to activate. Just bring it to a boil for a couple of minutes, and it will thicken. It doesn't take long.

[@cynthiasanchez6346]

This looks delicious to me! I’ve never flavored this combination this way but why not? It’s meat, potatoes and veggies! My husband is all for it, asked my son also he’s like “yep!” Yes thicker would be preferable but lots of good comments here on doing that. Thank you Justine, Happy Labor Day! 🌹♥️🥰🇺🇸

Looks yummy 😋

Looks good. Justcright fir the colder weather on the way. It'll be great with some dinner rolls ir biscuits. Evdn cornbread, toyr choice.thanks for sharing❤😂🎉

[@wardrobelion]

Happy Labor Day 🇺🇸! Don't worry if it didn't thicken enough. I love to dip buttered bread in mine and any leftovers tomorrow will thicken if you reheat it in the microwave. That's actually how you can do it next time if you like. Simply put your cornstarch in your cold water and then add a little broth to it and microwave it for a minute or so then mix it into the rest of your stew. It makes it a little easier to control that way you don't use too much. 😊❤

I love stew but its comforting when it's cold outside lol 😅

[@karendixon401]

When it's been in the 80s and suddenly it drops down to 50s all day and low in 40s at night then yes it feels like Fall is here early in August! Even though we're used to alot colder in WA state.. but at the first cool down you feel it. I have Alaskan friends say the same thing.

[@davidphilipson7997]

I think this is very tasty. I make something similar (but can never get the sauce / gravy quite thick enough). Nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@dianebixler3613]

I never boil my cornstarch and the gravy comes out perfectly.

[@janicebanks9958]

Be kind! Sometimes i take some of the cooked liquid out, let it coil, mix the cornstarch in really well until lumps disappear, and then add that to the pot. You do really well, and you will learn more as you cook more. This looks great for fall. I can't wait to start making soups and stews!

Warm water add to cornstarch then add hot water, stir. Stir hot water,cornstarch mixture to Hot beef stew.

[@RudyLopez-q3g]

The amount of beef broth would determine the amount of corn starch I feel 1 to 2 tablespoons with the stirring a little longer to get the mixture all over and gone about 20 minutes without stirring until you ready to serve just my opinion of course

[@shariyoutsey9078]

put one or two brown gravy mixes in when you cook it

[@luwiley3861]

Lost me at the Rotel

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

Why? That’s not good? I just bought one 😫😫

[@tiffanybyrd1501]

Stew? I'm not so sure about that, the liquid (thin and watery at that) to solids ratio leads me to say this is soup. Also, I suggest searing the meat, it adds flavor and seals the juices in...that and looks better.

[@KimfromMichigan-x2u]

Yes. Mom always floured and browned. She was the best cook. I never liked the beef though. Veg's for me

[@tiffanybyrd1501]

@@KimfromMichigan-x2u Yep, floured and browned and then it creates the gravy while cooking. Gonna have to make some beef stew soon, still hot here in Baltimore though.

[@bastidface]

Searing the meat in flour first. She's made a beef soup with a package of taco seasoning.

How many potatoes and carrots?

[@SueFleming70]

More like a soup than a stew...it's so watery but I bet it tasted nice 😋

[@EricLouchis]

Can't wait for fall to arrive.

[@vondrabejot9851]

I have found that the tomato will pickle the beef and keep it from cooking to soft shredded beef. I add the tomato, potatoes and carrots until after the beef is thoroughly cooked in a cup of water with onion and celery. The potatoes and carrots will add enough rye if you cook them long enough. Then your stew can be gluten free. I would use gluten free taco season. These thoroughly cooked ingredients over gluten free corn bread are preferred by my family.

[@laraeschnacky6011]

Not only do i use beef stew meat but i buy a packet of the beef stew seasoning mix i believe its McCornick and follow the directions on the beef stew mix...

[@sharondavizcaino8751]

Drink something cold before you put hot food in your mouth so it won't burn

Not only does cornstarch need to reach boiling point but you need more than a tablespoon for this amount of liquid.. If it doesn't boil you are stuck with thin liquid and a floury taste. Basic lack of knowledge 😢.
