Ive made this many times and always messed around with the ingredients. I feel the barbecue sauce gives it a smoky flavor, but skip it if you like. I saw some recipes online that brown the cubes first. You can do that too if you like, but I've never done it before.
All in all, I feel this is an extremely easy recipe thats good too. Just toss it in the cooker, and forget.
1 pound cubed beef
2 1/4 cups chopped potatoes
1 cup chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large can V8 juice
Black Pepper
3-5 dashes of hot sauce (As spicy as you'd like it)
Oregano
Barbecue Sauce
Just put all the ingredients in a slow cooker and let cook on low for 10 hours. Or you could use a regular pot, and add in all the ingredients but the vegetables. Add the vegetables after an hour or so of cooking.
Just make sure the stew has become thick before serving. It should be a stew, not a soup.
mmm this sounds yummmyyyy i loooove beef stew! i need a slow cooker now. lol ive never thought of trying it with bbq sauce or v8, i think im definitely trying the v8!
