Description
Sweet Potato Stew is a rich, slow-cooked dish packed with tender sweet potatoes, beef, and vegetables, all simmered in savory seasonings for a comforting and hearty meal.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 pound beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (or pre-cut stew meat)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups chopped sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 (8-ounce) bag baby carrots
- 1–1/2 cups frozen corn
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon powder
- 1 cup water
Instructions
1. Lightly coat the Crock-Pot with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, toss the beef with flour, seasoned salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Place the beef in the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together. Ensure the meat is submerged under the vegetables.
4. Cover and cook on low for 7–9 hours or on high for 5–7 hours, until the sweet potatoes and beef are very tender. For best results, cook on low.
5. Before serving, remove the bay leaf. Stir everything together and gently mash some of the sweet potatoes to thicken the stew.
6. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks before measuring. Add more parsley at the end for extra freshness if desired.
