Ingredients
2 large potatoes, cut into large bite sized chunks (approx 1 cup)
3 carrots, sliced (approx 1 cup)
1 medium sweet potato, cut into large bite sized chunks (approx 1 cup)
1/4 butternut pumpkin, cut into large bite sized chunks (approx 1 cup)
1 x 420g can condensed tomato soup
150g fruit chutney (I use the Rosella jar brand)
Directions
1Add all the vegetables to slow cooker and mix to combine
2Combine tomatoes, soup, chutney, curry, sauce and vegemite in bowl, ,mix well and set aside for now
3Add diced beef to large plastic bag with seasoned flour and toss to coat beef in flour. Add beef to slow cooker on top of vegetables
4Pour over the tomato mixture and stir to combine.
5Cook on high for 7hrs (see notes)
6Serve with crusty buttered bread
Notes
1You can vary vegetables to what you have on hand. This is a great 'empty out the vegetable crisper at the end of the week' type of recipe 🙂
2This fills a 6L slow cooker to the top, hence the long and high cooking time to achieve tender results. You could also cook on low all day (I'd estimate approx 10hrs at least, so great for working families cooking from morning until home time)

Really tasty I put everything in that was in recipe but omitted the beans ( I hate beans) I added extra worstershire sauce and 1/2 cup of water and cooked over night . I am not much of a meat eater but meat was so tender, there was so much I gave neighbours some and made the rest into pies with mash potatoes on top delicious 😋

Absolutely delicious. I used homemade relish in place of the chutney and let out the pumpkin and sweet potato due to personal preference. I cooked in low for 8 hours. It was super delicious and made enough for 2 meals for our family of four reasonable eaters. A loaf of crusty bread paired with it very nicely.

Put on a batch before work yesterday and came home to the delicious aroma! Family were so excited by the smells and this did not disappoint! Because we were out all day, I popped it on low at 7.00am and came home just before 5.00pm and it was perfectly cooked. Will do this one again for sure, so easy, so delicious and so hearty!

Made this last week and it was absolutely delicious. My husband loved it and there was enough to freeze for another 2 meals for us 2. We had ours with a crusty bread roll as there was a lot of vegetables in the casserole.

Hi Lois, while halving the ingredients should fit, don’t have the cooking time. It would still need around 6-8hrs for good tender results of meat and the hard veg

Thinking of cooking this over weekend. We are caravanning. Have 3.5L cooker, would be okay to 1/2 all ingredients & cook for half the time on low?
Thanks 😊

This was for sure soo tasty. I found it a little too sweet for me but I think I was a bit heavy handed on the chutney. The kids devoured it though so I can’t complain! Will try again with less chutney.
It is extremely saucey so you can go heavy on the veggies and meat and I needed to thicken with flour

Hubby enjoyed it plus one of my “adopted child” as well. I added some minced garlic, I did accidentally drop my container with the sauce in while mixing and lost some so added a sachet of tomato paste and a extra table spoon of Worcester sauce to make up some liquid

This recipe was super delicious!! Exactly what we needed after a long day and so easy to make. I followed the recipe to the letter and it tasted amazing. Served with crusty bread. I will definitely make this again. Thank you.

I’m not sure how the meat will go blitzed but if it all blitzes together ok, which I assume it will, it would certainly be nice and thick yes 🙂
Jenny

Hi. My husband has asked for a meaty soup – do you think if I blitzed this it would be a nice thick soup texture? Thanks 😊
Rick
May 2, 2022
Yeah, it was alright. Only thing I didn’t do was to cut off all the fat from meat. Cause afterwards I found there was a lot of fat when cooked on surface. Yes I’ll have to skim it off.

Delicious!
I didn’t have tomato soup so added tomato paste, water and squirts of tomato and bbq sauce for sweetness..

Hubby requested a beef casserole for dinner and this did not disappoint! I just used veggies I had so no pumpkin or sweet potato but added some capsicum and celery. I used about a quarter cup of homemade fruit chutney as that was all I had but the rest as per the recipe. Delicious! We just had it with toast to mop up the delicious gravy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I guess you could but my concern would be the meat would fall off the bone at this temp/time and you’d risk bones through your lovely casserole
Kasey

Could you use bone in chicken instead of beef?

My family loves the Hearty Beef sauce in a jar from the supermarket. Well I had beef at home but no sauce so I looked up beef sauce and this came up. I’m so happy to have found this. I had every single ingredient in my cupboard except the tomato soup. I didn’t leave it out, I just used a few tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with flour and then 400mls boiling water and then the other sauce ingredients. It tasted wonderful. I’m sure they are going to love eating it tonight. Thank you so much!!!

I really love doing this casserole cos you can cram anything and everything in it! I use chuck steak for meat and the taste sensation…..wow!!!!

I made this today as I thought it was a great recipe, just changed a few thing (used French onion soup as a thickener). It’s looking good.

Sorry I didn’t see this in time. If you left out the salty and the sweet it will change the final tastes. How was it?

If I left out the chutney & Vegemite, would it still be ok? Or is there anything else I could add to sub them?
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

You could leave it out if you don’t have it 🙂
June Smith

Can you either substitute Worcestershire sauce for something else, or could you just leave it out altogether.

Could I use a tomato chutney instead of a fruit one?

Yummmmmyyy. Great way to use up leftover veg. Very tasty base. We have with bread or sometimes I make & add cheesy dumpling 1.5h before it’s done. Very rarely are there any leftovers.

I’m making this for the second time as it was a hit with my husband and kids and so easy! I just leave out the chutney and add a little brown sugar instead

Has anyone used gravy beef in this ?

It definitely adds a light sweet fruity element to the finished dish but you could cook it without it 🙂

Made this yesterday, left out peas and corn and added red capsicum, celery and some mixed herbs. This is the best stew I have made and the family loved it. Served it with crusty breadstick.

Loved this recipe and so did my family! I left out the peas but added corn, celery and some mixed herbs. Surprisingly, it didn’t taste of tomato! Such a versatile recipe! We also had plenty of leftover which I added mashed potato and cheese on top of for a second meal. Budget friendly!
