Slow Cooker Beef Stew – Low-Calorie

This slow cooker beef stew recipe is mouthwatering and lower in calories per serving. Perfect for dinner on those cooler nights.

I adore a hearty bowl of stew on a cold day. Those of you not from Arizona may not believe that it ever gets cold here, but it actually does. Currently we have lows in the 40’s and highs in the 60’s. Brr. Okay, in all seriousness, that is cold weather for Arizona, and also the perfect time to break out recipes for soups and stews.

I hadn’t made stew in so long, but I love them and I’m glad I did because it hit the spot. Hearty chunks of beef, veggies, and a mouthwatering broth, equals the perfect dinner for a cool evening. The entire family loved this low-calorie recipe, so it’s a keeper for sure.

What are your favorite types of soups and stews to make? This  Slow Cooker Beef Stew is a great way to get in those veggies and the kids will eat them without complaints in this stew. They are cooked down in the broth and the flavor of the veggies, potatoes and meat together taste wonderful. We love slow cooker meals in our house because we have a lot of busy afternoons where there isn’t always time to cook. Instead of grabbing something quick and unhealthy, this can be prepared quickly in the morning, and left cook all day in the slow cooker and be ready to eat by dinnertime.
