Easy beef stew in the crockpot

I make a beef stew in my slow cooker using carrots and potatoes.

I have used instant potato flakes to thicken beef stew before. It worked good.

The reason it didn't thicken is because cornstarch needs to be brought to certain temp to activate. Just bring it to a boil for a couple of minutes, and it will thicken. It doesn't take long.

This looks delicious to me! I’ve never flavored this combination this way but why not? It’s meat, potatoes and veggies! My husband is all for it, asked my son also he’s like “yep!” Yes thicker would be preferable but lots of good comments here on doing that. Thank you Justine, Happy Labor Day! 🌹♥️🥰🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day 🇺🇸! Don't worry if it didn't thicken enough. I love to dip buttered bread in mine and any leftovers tomorrow will thicken if you reheat it in the microwave. That's actually how you can do it next time if you like. Simply put your cornstarch in your cold water and then add a little broth to it and microwave it for a minute or so then mix it into the rest of your stew. It makes it a little easier to control that way you don't use too much. 😊❤

I think this is very tasty. I make something similar (but can never get the sauce / gravy quite thick enough). Nice. Thank you for sharing.

After you add the starch, it has to come to a full on boil to thicken!!

I never boil my cornstarch and the gravy comes out perfectly.

Warm water add to cornstarch then add hot water, stir. Stir hot water, cornstarch mixture to Hot beef stew.

Need to dredge meat in flour before putting in crockpot. That thickens it
