Slow cooker beef stew with onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup

Crock Pot Onion Soup Mix Beef Stew

If you’re looking for an easy and hearty beef stew dish, you have come to the right place. This crock pot onion soup mix beef stew is so rich in flavor that everyone will love it. Make this soon and enjoy!

Every now and again, I come across a recipe that sounds so good and plan on making it but just put it to the side and forget about it.

Well, that’s exactly what happened with this recipe.

I saw a similar one on Pinterest and copied it, then forgot about it.

I was running out to the market and went to grab a notepad to make my list when this recipe was stuck in the middle of the pad.

Perfect timing!

Most of the ingredients I had in my pantry and fridge.

All that was needed to buy was the beef and a few other items. Grabbed them and ran home to throw in my crock pot.

However, I changed things just a bit by eliminating one extra packet of soup mix. I thought it would be enough and it was.

But, if you think you want the extra packet of soup mix, go ahead and add it in. To us it was just right.

You can also swap out the cream of celery soup for cream of mushroom. You decide. 

No need to add a side veggie since this is filled with baby carrots and potatoes.

All I can say is, wow!

My family and I loved this beef stew and I’m sure it’s going to be a recipe I make over and over again.

You can imagine the aroma that filled my house. When the kids and hubby came home they couldn’t wait to eat.

Love that handy dandy crock pot to make a perfect meal for my family.

Make sure you get some good crusty bread to soak up any gravy. You’re not going to want to miss a drop. 

Yields: 6 to 8 servings

What can I add to beef stew for flavor?

Try adding soy sauce or Worcestershire for extra savory (or umami) flavor, a touch of honey or brown sugar for sweetness, lemon zest or vinegar for brightness or chili powder or smoked paprika for spice and depth.

Can you overcook stew in a slow cooker?

Can you overcook something in a slow cooker? Slow cookers are specially designed to cook food for long periods of time, but yes, you can still overcook in a slow cooker if something is left on the wrong setting for longer than it's supposed to be.

Why do you put tomato paste in beef stew?

Since you're adding tomatoes, use tomato paste instead of tomato juice and diced tomatoes — that will help thicken the mixture and create a deeper color. Also, I suggest adding a little flour-water mixture 30 minutes before serving, to make sure the sauce reaches a gravy-like consistency.

How do you make stew meat really tender?

Not cooking the stew long enough. Chuck meat is your best bet for beef stew, but it's also a pretty tough cut so it needs time to break down and become tender. Rush the cooking process and the beef will be tough and chewy. Follow this tip: For really tender meat, cook the stew low and slow, for approximately two hours.
