Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cube the butter and add it in the final 30 minutes of cooking to preserve its rich flavor and prevent it from breaking down completely.
Use bite-size potatoes so they cook evenly and cook through at the same rate as the stew meat.
Brown the stew meat in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker for deeper flavor, though this step can be skipped for true dump-and-go convenience.
Don't lift the lid during cooking; each peek adds 15-20 minutes to cooking time.

Substitutions

Honey gold potatoes → red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes (similar cooking time)
Beef broth → chicken broth or vegetable broth (flavor will be milder)
Smoked paprika → regular paprika (reduces smoky flavor depth)
Stew meat → chuck roast cut into 1.5-inch chunks (may require slightly longer cooking)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat or microwave individual portions until warmed through.
