Comforting And Delicious Slow Cooker Stout Beef Stew
One of the best comfort food recipes that you can have for a great dinner dish.
Having a slow cooked comfort food recipe is my greatest weakness. And I just love collecting as many as I cooked especially for rainy days.
A great slow cooked dish is something I am very excited to have at the end of a long busy day. It is always comforting to know that when one gets home, food is warm and cooked to perfection. That doesn’t only goes for me but for my entire family.
This recipe is a classic that your slow cooker will never fail to cook for you. It is so easy to make, you just leave it to cook and super delicious.
Check out the recipe below.

- Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces - 2 pounds
- carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces - 1 pound
- large onions, finely chopped - 2
- garlic, minced - 2 cloves
- fresh parsley, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
- stout beer, such as Guinness Draught - One 12-ounce bottle
- olive oil - 1/4 cup
- light brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
- tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
- all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup
