Instructions

  • Add beef stew meat and baby potatoes right into your slow cooker. Spread them out so they get cozy but not crowded.
  • Sprinkle the onion soup mix, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the top of your meat and potatoes.
  • Add minced garlic and butter in dollops over everything.
  • Pour in ½ cup water or beef broth.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are cooked through.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in trimmed green beans gently. Cover and continue cooking until beans are tender.
  • Serve warm. Optionally top with chopped fresh herbs.

Notes

Let leftovers cool before storing. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water. You can freeze extras without the green beans to keep their texture crisp.
