Crockpot Guinness Beef Stew Recipe
I love this time of year! The excuse to use Guinness in as many recipes as I possibly can before St. Patrick’s Day. While I know I could make them year-round I just seem to find the time between Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day is prime Guinness recipe time. Today’s Slow Cooker Crock Pot Guinness Stew Recipe is the perfect comfort food for a chilly winter night.
Not only do you get to enjoy Guinness in your stew you also get the comforting mix of carrots, potatoes, and beef mixed in. Hello yum!
This recipe is absolutely delicious! You don’t have to stress about hours stirring the pot or making sure that the bottom of the pot is not burning. The slow cooker does all the work! With a five hour cook time you can set this up in the morning and dinner is ready when you get home.
We fell in love with Ireland when we visited a few years ago. One of our favorite tours was this tour of the Guinness Storefront. I had no idea going into it what to expect, and it blew my mind. So many floors of history and beer information plus the top floors have an unbelievable view over Dublin.

If you can’t find Guinness you can use any other stout beers that you find at the store. I just find the Guinness is the easiest stout to find.
Equipment needed
Skillet – To brown the beef before placing in the slow cooker
Tongs – Make sure you have long enough tongs that you don’t hit your arm on the hot skillet. Trust me it does not feel great
Slow cooker – You can use a slow cooker that has the option to brown the beef and then slow cook if you have one. This is a great way to save time having to wash another pan.
