Ingredients:
2 lbs of stew meat, cubed
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet onion soup mix
Water, as required
Optional: Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cubing the stew meat into bite-sized pieces if it’s not already done.
Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the stew meat in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the brown gravy mix and onion soup mix over the meat. Pour the cream of mushroom soup on top. Add water until the ingredients are just covered.
Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
Check for Consistency: If the gravy is too thick, you can add more water to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you can thicken it with a slurry of cornstarch and water.
Serve: Once the beef stew is ready, ladle it into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of homemade beef stew.
