Yummers.  Could someone tell me how to make this one in my crack pot? 

Oops, I meant in my Crock pipe. 

For a crock pot, you probably just need to add a can of beef broth (which will mostly cook off during the day as it is in the pot).  Then put everything in at once, set the crock pot and forget about it until you get home. 

I've never done stew with beer.  What kind of a flavor does it give the stew?

we marinate all our meat in beer - it tenderizes and adds great flavor to steaks.

Plus when you've got so much dang beer around the house, like Rusty and Neumie do, you gotta find creative ways to use it besides just getting shetfaced all the time. 

The stew is delicious.  I used liptons MUSHROOM AND ONION SOUP MIX.  And i didn't have tomato soup so I used a small can of hunts tomato sauce. 

 

I opened a 2nd can of beer and added a little extra beer to the recipe.  Then I had 10 ounces of beer left in the can that I had to drink up !  Can't let a good brewski go to waste!

And I used canned whole potatoes, they are good in soups and stews.   I don't like to peel potatoes and neither does my staff of 4 cooks. 

Thanks for the tips Paula!!

 

I'm definitely going to try this!
