As a slow cooker enthusiast, I love me good beef stew recipe. So, as my family has been transitioning to low carb family recipes, I thought I’d give beef stew a try with a couple tweaks to lower the carb count. It is so yummy and now my go-to Slow Cooker Beef Stew low carb recipe. I even made it for a recent camping trip and everyone including our self-proclaimed carb lovers loved it!

Ingredients Needed for Slow Cooker Beef Stew (Low Carb)

• 2 lbs stew meat
• 1/2 small yellow onion- chopped
• 2 Tablespoons bacon grease or melted butter
• 1 small head of cabbage – chopped
• 16 oz cauliflower florets
• 12 oz frozen chopped green beans
• 1 large zucchini- chopped
• 3 cups chunky marinara sauce (we use this low carb sauce)

Slow Cooker Beef Stew (Low Carb) Notes

• I used my 7 Quart Cuisinart Multi-Cooker to do both the browning step AND the slow cooking, however you can brown your meat in a skillet and transfer to a traditional 6-8 quart slow cooker if you do not have a multi-cooker.
• We love the flavor of this low carb sauce, however it is expensive. If you are not eating low carb, feel free to use your favorite marinara sauce.
• If you are looking for more low carb crock pot recipes, check out our Low Carb Recipes Library.
• Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
• Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
