Beef Stew with Leftover Roast Beef
Make this easy and delicious beef stew with leftover roast beef.
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb roast beef cooked cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 3 stalks of celery diced
- 6 carrots chopped into bite-size pieces
- 6 potatoes peeled and cubed
- 4 pieces of bacon cooked and crumbled (can also use bacon bits)
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 3 bay leaves
- 32 oz bone broth
- water
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare roast beef ahead of time - cut into bite-sized pieces
- Dice onion and celery - set aside
- Chop carrots - set aside
- Cube potatoes - set aside
- Slice bacon and cook to desired crispiness in dutch oven
- Remove bacon from Dutch oven and place on paper towel to drain
- Saute onion and celery in bacon grease (or 1 Tbsp of olive oil). (If there is extra grease after sauteing, I will soak it up with a paper towel so it is not overly greasy)
- Add the potatoes, carrots, cubed roast beef, and bacon.
- Add beef broth, tomato sauce, and water to cover everything with a little extra (the extra fluid will be reduced while simmering)
- Add seasonings and stir.
- Place the lid and allow to simmer for 1-2 hours on low. Stir occasionally.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Excellent for leftovers and freezes very well
