Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Sprinkle the beef cubes generously with salt and pepper . Heat a heavy skillet and coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil . Brown the beef in batches, taking care not to crowd the pan. Place in the crockpot along with pan juices.

  2. To the crockpot, add acorn squash , potatoes , onion , mushroom gravy mix, tomatoes , garlic , allspice , and bay leaf. Stir with a large spoon to combine.

  3. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours.

  4. When done, break the frozen green beans into 2-inch lengths and stir into the stew. Cover for 5 minutes to heat through. Remove and discard the bay leaves, then serve.

  5. Yield: 6 to 8 servings Notes :

  6. • Other winter squashes may be substituted for the acorn squash, including butternut, buttercup, pumpkin, hubbard, turban, and banana squashes.

  7. • Waxy potatoes, such as Red Rose and Yukon Gold are a good choice for recipes that undergo a long cooking process because they hold together. Russets and Idahos tend to fall apart. You may peel them, if you must, but you will lose fiber and nutrients.

  8. • Ground nutmeg may be substituted for the allspice.
