Simple, warming and tasty - this beef stew is the ultimate comfort food. This recipe is very forgiving, you can change quantities to your preference or add ingredients you like. This is a basic recipe that my family just loves with dumplings on top. Any leftovers (unheard of in my family) also makes a delicious meat pie the next day: just line a pie dish (or ramekins for smaller amount) with pastry, spoon in the stew, sprinkle grated cheese on top and cover with pastry lid and bake. Voila! Another yummy meal to devour.

How To Make slow cooker easy beef casserole

1
Combine flour with salt and pepper

2
Lay meat at the bottom of slow cooker and shake flour mixture on top. Use hands to coat the meat in the flour until well coated.
3
Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic and potatoes on top of the flour dusted meat.
4
Pour liquid beef stock and Worcestershire sauce over the vegetables.
5
Cover and follow cook times below: Low: 8-10 hours High: 4-6 hours My slow cooker seems to have a higher temperature than most recipes state so I generally cook my beef casserole for 8-9 hours and it is absolutely fall apart delicious. But it is even better when cooked longer! The best setting to cook this stew on is low, the longer the better but you may have to make it a couple of times to figure out which works best for your slow cooker. Regardless, this stew always turns out wonderfully!
6
Check your flavouring about halfway through and adjust if necessary. 30 minutes before the stew is ready, if you want to thicken the gravy add a couple of tablespoons of cornflour mixed with water (I use the stock from the stew) and stir into the beef stew. Cover and allow to finish cooking.
