SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE, BEAN AND PASTA STEW



Slow Cooker Sausage, Bean and Pasta Stew image

Two secret ingredients do double-duty in this sausage stew: fire- roasted canned tomatoes boost the flavor and add smoky backbone, while a Parmesan rind-which you can get on its own in many supermarkets-adds a savory, just-slightly-cheesy note and tons of body.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (or 4 with leftovers)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces dried white beans, such as cannellini, rinsed and picked over
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with a piece of kitchen twine
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links (4 to 6 links)
One 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
One 4 ounce chunk Parmesan rind, optional, plus grated Parmesan, for serving
1/2 cup ditalini pasta
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the onions over the bottom of a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
  • Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart. Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.
  • Cook's Note: This stew is also a great way to use up leftover cooked pasta. Simply omit the ditalini, reduce the water by 1 cup and stir 1 cup of cooked pasta (cut up if long noodles) into the finished stew along with the sausage pieces.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew image

Take the time up front to make a thick gravy and you'll love how rich and delicious it makes this slow-cooked stew. Even though the caraway is optional, we recommend giving it a try- it's a simple way to add something special to a classic.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

Sausage and Cabbage Stew (Crock Pot) image

Wanted a substantial and healthy dinner for a cold night. Also wanted something where my hands were free to do bread and other cooking. Here is a different kind of stew recipe, little savory, little sweet. Enjoy it with a crusty bread and salad for a rounded meal.

Provided by Chef1MOM-Connie

Categories     Stew

Time 3h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb Italian sausage, cut up into slices (or use cooked italian sausage balls)
1/2 cabbage (head-cut into chunks)
6 cups beef broth (or use bouillon and water if needed)
1 apple (cored, skinned, cubed)
1 cup carrot, diced
1 tomatoes, cut up (or use a tomato sauce 1/2 c- this cuts some of grease from sausage)
1 cup green beans (optional)
2 potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon garlic
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • put all in crock pot, with meat on top.
  • cook on low for 7 hours or high 3 1/2 hours.
  • add more water if you need it or to make a soup.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Select high-quality cuts of meat, such as chuck roast or stew meat. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts are also great options if you prefer poultry. You can also consider using a combination of meats for a more flavorful stew.
  • Brown the Meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the slow cooker helps to caramelize the surface, resulting in a richer flavor. This step can be done in a skillet or directly in the slow cooker if it has a sauté function.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables. The more variety you have, the more flavorful your stew will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and sweet potatoes. You can also add herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
  • Add Liquid: The liquid you use in your stew is also important. Beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth are all good options. You can also add a cup of red wine or beer for extra flavor.
  • Cook on Low: Slow cooking is the key to tender, fall-apart meat. Cook your stew on low for at least 8 hours, or up to 12 hours if you have the time. This will give the flavors time to meld and the meat to become perfectly tender.
  • Serve with Sides: When serving your stew, consider pairing it with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce and make your meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Crock-pot stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can create a delicious and hearty stew that your whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this recipe a try.
