Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker Stew:

  • Use a variety of meats. This will give your stew a more complex flavor.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor, nutrition, and color to your stew.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth will help to flavor the stew and keep the meat moist.
  • Season the stew well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to taste.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for 8-10 hours, or on high heat for 4-6 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
