2 bowls of farmers market beef stew in bowls

Beef stew in the slow cooker with all those summer veggies from the garden. Makes a for a perfect hearty meal.

This Slow Cooker Farmers Market Beef Stew was a last-minute idea. I love standard beef stew but I thought it would be fun to change it up this week. On my mail route, I’m lucky to have 4 produce stands along the way. The produce stand I stop by almost daily is Lone Pine Farms. I can get a snack for work and get my produce shopping done at the same time.

For this  Slow Cooker Farmers Market Beef Stew I used my trusty beef stew recipe but added more vegetables that are in season now. I added fresh corn off the cobb, red onion, and fresh-cut green beans. It turned out amazing. The corn still had a great crunch, and the green beans were cooked perfectly.

I also had extra time in the morning add the ingredients for homemade bread in my bread maker (I use the delay cycle). I don’t think anything could be better than walking in the door after working all day to beef stew and homemade bread.

      The farmers narkets are closed this time of year.
      Would this still be good if I was to use frozen corn and green beans instead of fresh.

      I’ve made this several times now, and it has become my favorite crockpot meal! My husband loves it too, and really enjoys taking it for lunch leftovers the next day.

      Yum!! I can practically smell the fresh baked bread now! What a wonderful idea. I’m so jealous that you have a produce stand to shop at! 🙂

      It looks delicious and there really is nothing better than walking in to all those wonderful smells at the end of the day. Sadly, they closed the Farmers Market that was nearest to us and I have yet to find a good replacement for it.
