Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Is there a dish more comforting than this Slow Cooker Beef Stew? It’s absolutely perfect for cold fall and winter days. It’s incredibly hearty and perfectly flavorful. This is a stew you’ll want to make again and again!

This has quickly become a reader favorite, try it and you’ll see why!

I’m thinking this is just the thing you need to make this coming Tuesday. I always love to have stew or chili on Halloween, I don’t know what it is but it’s becoming tradition.

It must have something to do with the fact that it’s always cold here when we take our kids out trick-or-treating (sometimes snowing!) so I love to have some warm comforting stew before we head out, then I like to have hot cocoa when we get home. I get cold easy.

2 ½ lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat and diced into 1-½ inch cubes (you should have about 2 lbs once trimmed)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large yellow onion, chopped (1 ½ cups)

3 medium celery stalks, chopped (1 ¼ cups)
