I don’t care if it has canned soup in it. If you have beef (haha — get it, beef?) with canned soup, then make your own homemade french onion and tomato and add those.
But this is seriously the best beef stew I’ve EVER had! I got the recipe from a co-worker, who informed me I had to cook it for 5 hours, at 300 degrees F, in my oven.
Um, no.
I’m never home for 5 hours to cook it that long!
So I threw it in the crockpot. And it was p-e-r-f-e-c-t.
The original recipe had no measurements on it, save for how many cans of soup and bullion cubes. I used the amounts below and it was perfect. It served DH and I two dinners and made enough for 2 lunch portions.
I served it with crusty bread.
Beef Stew
(Adapted by me)
2 pounds beef cubes (or a beef roast, cubed)
1/2 large onion, roughly chopped
4 carrots, cut into rounds
4 celery stalks, cut into pieces
4-5 Idaho (or whatever you prefer) potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2 beef bullion cubes
2 cans of tomato soup (condensed, with no additional milk added)
1 can french onion soup
Directions
- If you are making it in the oven: layer ingredients as listed below in a big casserole dish and bake, covered with foil, for 5 hours at 300 degrees F – and the most important step: DO NOT STIR, TOUCH, OR REMOVE THE FOIL WHILE COOKING.
- To make it in a crockpot….spray crockpot with cooking spray to make cleanup easier
- Layer ingredients as follows: beef cubes in the bottom of the crockpot, onions on top of the beef cubes, carrots, celery, and potatoes next.
- Place two bullion cubes on top of potatoes (I put one on each “side” of the crockpot)
- Next, take the two cans of tomato soup and “plop” them on top of the layers (again, I put one on each “side” of the crockpot) and then empty the can of french onion soup over the whole mess.
- Place the lid on top, and set the crockpot for 8 hours on low.
- As with the oven instructions — DO NOT STIR, TOUCH, OR REMOVE THE LID WHILE COOKING.
- Once the crockpot is done, remove the lid, stir to combine the ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve!
