I can’t think of anything better than eating a warm bowl of Crock Pot Beef Stew on a chilly day. This Crock Pot Beef Stew is filled with hearty pieces of beef and vegetables slow cooked all day in the most delicious gravy.
It’s the perfect Sunday meal to make for your loved ones. I’ve been making this for years and love to serve it with our favorite rolls. It is beyond delicious! Every one in my family adores this meal, including the kiddos. 🙂

Ingredients
- 2 packages (1 ounce, each) dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, or a boneless beef roast, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 5 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 to 3 cups baby carrots
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 2 cans (10 ounces, each) cream of celery soup
- 1 cup ketchup *(you can substitute tomato sauce if you don’t like ketchup)
Instructions
- In a large plastic bag, combine the dry onion soup mix and paprika. Add in meat and shake the bag to coat meat with the seasonings. (You may have to do that step in two batches, for all the meat to fit)
- Once meat is coated, spread out evenly into a greased 7 quart crock pot. Top meat evenly with the diced potatoes, carrots and onion.
- Mix the cream of celery soup and ketchup in a small bowl. Pour mixture over the meat and vegetables.
- Cover crock pot with lid. Cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours or until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Stir to combine everything then serve.
