Beef Stew in Crockpot

October 25, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Thursday!

I can’t believe how fast time is going.  I was reading another blog this morning and they said less than one month till Thanksgiving!!  Holy Crappers!!!  Once Turkey Day is here, it’s all over, we will officially be in Christmas mode!  But one thing I like about Turkey Day is shopping Black Friday!  Yah, I know who goes out on that day?  I have a secret hiding spot that no one really knows about, so I get all my shopping done by 9am!  Then I go to breakfast to my favorite Bistro and then head to Target because the crowd will be gone.  Yup, that’s my Black Friday!  I can’t believe I am even talking about that!!  Do you shop Black Friday?

Since I am in the Fall mode, I have also been craving hearty comfort food!  I think you can tell from this weeks recipes, like Wally’s Beef Chili, Skinny Vanilla Lattes and now Beef Stew!!  Not to toot my own horn, but I have to admit this is the best beef stew that I have made!  My Husband agreed with me!  We ate the whole pot and that’s four servings!!  It’s chock full of tri-tip steak, potatoes, carrots, onion, carrots and tomatoes!  For the seasoning I used Worcestershire sauce, paprika  thyme, garlic powder and bay leaves.  Oh my gosh was it good!!  It’s so easy to make to!!!


The hardest thing about making this dish was the smell.  I was home from work that day when I made this and it made the house smell so good!  Kind of like when you go to Mom’s or Grandma’s house and you walk in there home to that warm, comforting smell.  Yup, this stew does that!!!  I promise if you try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!

Since I was home that day my Husband sent me a text asking me if I wanted to go to dinner to celebrate our 7th year wedding anniversary and I told him my phone was off and I didn’t get his message, and I told him I didn’t want to go to dinner.  He asked why? I told him I had dinner cooking.  He was disappointed and asked in a sad voice what are we having?  I told him Beef Stew, oh my gosh did his tone of his voice change.  He was thrilled.  It’s one of those dishes that I don’t make to often.  Since my Husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy I thought I would surprise him with this dish for our anniversary.  I know it’s not romantic, but he loves it and that’s all that counts!!!

We served this dish with a side of rye bread!  For some reason we like dipping buttered rye bread into our stews and chili’s.  Some how it’s a perfect match!  What I find weird is my Husband HATES wheat bread, yet he loves rye bread.  He says it’s his favorite and our rye bread is made with wheat.  I really did marry a strange guy!!  lol

    I love reading your blog every day – you’re such a refreshing, genuine person. Happy Anniversary to you! 🙂 question: do you think I could use a whole chuck roast for this instead of cubed tip roast, and just shred the meat after it’s cooked, then stir it back up with the potatoes/carrots/sauce?

      Thank you so much! :). Yes chuck roast will work great inn this recipe. I have used it before. You could also shred it right in the pot, the meat will fall apart. I use two forks and pull apart the meat for easy shredding. Let me know if u make it and if you like it. Have a great day!

        made it in the crockpot today, and BOY it was AMAZING! the only minor adjustments I made were: 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup red wine (instead of 1 cup beef broth), fresh thyme (I had it on hand), diced potato (cheaper than small), and seasoned the beef with roast seasoning. SOOO good. can’t WAIT to have this for leftovers for the next few days! thank you for a GREAT recipe, Jen – this is a keeper as far as crockpot beef stew! 😉

          I love the idea of using wine in the stew. I bet it tasted amazing! I don’t use wine for cooking much because I hate to waste it, I never end up using a whole bottle, but I might with the stew! I love that idea!!

            it WAS amazing! you’re right though, when you don’t use much there’s a lot left. we remedy that by drinking it with the stew. red wine and beef are a match made in heaven, after all 🙂 thanks again!

            You have convinced me! I need to make a beef dish using red wine! I haven’t had that combo in a looooong time! I think this weekend!! Thanks!! 🙂

    I don’t shop black friday. I stay home and cook. The crowds are just too much for me. Your stew looks yummy. I would like to curl up with a blanket and a good book and eat it at the same time. Pure comfort food right there!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
