Slow Cooker Beef Sweet Potato Stew

This Slow Cooker Beef Sweet Potato Stew Recipe is an easy dinner recipe with a twist - it has sweet potatoes and squash! Our Crockpot Beef Sweet Potato stew will have you rethinking your classic Beef Stew recipe!

I love the flavor and I don't even really like squash or sweet potatoes...but somehow, this recipe just blends the flavor profiles perfectly and it's utterly delicious. 

Slow Cooker Beef and Sweet Potato Stew Recipe

This has got to be one of the easiest recipes I have made in awhile! The stew beef is already pre-cut at your local supermarket, so no need to even cut the beef, the onion, sweet potato and butternut squash prep time was only about ten minutes tops.

When people think of stew they normally think of using white potatoes. I love how this recipe calls for sweet potatoes, so much healthier and more colorful than the typical white potatoes we are all used to having.

Why We love this Slow Cooker Beef and Sweet Potato Stew Recipe

I have always been a fan of rosemary, especially when cooking pork, but this recipe has allowed me to add it to beef which I normally don't do. The rosemary adds so much flavor to this Hearty Sweet Potato and Beef stew Recipe, it is truly a unique flavor combination.

The garlic salt and thyme also went really well with the other spices, and together this stew was rich in flavor as well as super colorful! When I feel like I am getting a bit tired of eating the same thing during the week, I simply freeze the leftovers and have it for the following week.

Additions and Variations

You can also stir in some peas if you want to add a little color and nutrients from green veggies. I would stir in 1 cup of frozen peas the last 30 minutes or so of cooking.
