Our best warming beef stew and casserole recipes
From rich beef stew with dumplings to hearty casseroles and hands-off one-pots
Nothing warms you from the inside out like a hearty beef stew. From peppery slow cooker stroganoff, to spicy chilli and rich beef casserole, we've got all the winter-warming beef recipes you'll ever need.
Slow Cooker Mustard and Peppered Beef Stroganoff
This slow cooker version is more economical than the classic dish as it uses cheaper cuts of beef. You don’t need to fry the mushrooms if you don’t have time, they can be added straight to the slow cooker for the last 30min of cooking and leave out the brandy.
Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
This French classic is perfect to have gently cooking, ready for when you come in from the cold. If you can, buy beef that isn’t already pre-cut, as the pieces are often too small or unevenly cut. You can substitute some of the wine for more beef stock if you want to have a subtler flavour.
