How to Make Easy Chuck Wagon Stew in a Crock Pot

If you are looking for a tried and true recipe that is absolutely delicious, hearty and filling, then check out this Easy Crock Pot Chuck Wagon Stew. I used barbecue baked beans the first time I made this recipe, but they aren’t always available in my area. So, I started using Bush’s Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, since they are always available at my local grocery store. Whether you use the barbecue baked beans or the brown sugar hickory baked beans, the results are incredible. You are sure to have a hearty stew that will be loved by all at your table, young and old alike. What is even better is that it is stew, so it is even better the next day!

Sounds good except for the baked beans LOL! I’m not a bean person but I wonder if maybe draining off 2 small cans of boiled peanuts and adding in a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s would work as a substitute. Another option that might work is throwing in a couple cans of Manwich Bold and skipping the beans.
