Crockpot Cowboy Stew recipe

Crock Pot Cowboy Stew Recipe

1-1/4 lbs beef stew meat
4 unpeeled potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (28.00 ounces) can baked beans
2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce

Mix stew meat, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper in crockpot. Spread beans over the meat mix and pour BBQ sauce over beans (work it in a bit with the flat of the spoon on the beans). Cover and cook on low heat 6-8 hours until the beef is tender. Or on high for 3-4 hours.
We love to serve cheddar chive biscuits with this! Also- I love using our enamelware bowls and cups and bandanas for napkins- gives us a cowboy feeling!
Cost breakdown: stew meat (a little over 1 lb)cost $3.31, potatoes- free (out of garden), onion- free (also out of garden) can baked beans $1.00 and BBQ sauce- well, we’ve had this sauce in the fridge for awhile- no price tag, I have no idea- let’s say 10 cents.
Total Cost: $4.41 or there abouts.
Add the biscuits (you can purchase a mix for 99 cents- just add water or milk depending on mix) and you have a delicious meal for under $6 for a family of 5.

Hi! I'm enjoying your crock pot recipes and commentary. It's certainly the season, right?

I wanted to mention that it might make your Sunday mornings go even more smoothly if you just set up the entire meal in the crock pot and then put it in the fridge overnight. Then you just have to remember to put the liner in the crockpot and turn it on before leaving for church. For the recipes that just don't speed up very well, I've even set my alarm to just get up at the right time. Then I start the slowcooker and finish off my night's sleep.

Glad you're enjoying your Sunday Dinners again.
