Aunt Bee’s Dump and Bake Beef Stew is an easy comfort food dump dinner that you can throw together in just minutes. Full of nutritious and hearty ingredients, it’s a great way to get a meal on the table when you don’t have time to cook!
Hi, friends! I’m so glad to be stopping by again from The Seasoned Mom to share another special recipe with you!
We all have meals that just remind us of home, right? One of my mom’s go-to dinners on cool evenings was always Beef Stew. It was a one-pot supper that she knew we would all devour.
And guess what? Now that I’m an adult, I find that I’m doing the same thing: throwing together a classic and wholesome dinner that my boys love. I know that the meat, potatoes, and veggies will keep everyone full, nourished, and happy. And the best part? There’s virtually no effort required on my part!
When I say “dump and bake,” I really mean it…
You just combine the raw ingredients in a dish, cover, and bake for a few hours. You don’t have to stir it, think about it, or worry about it until dinner’s ready to serve. Voila!
Retro classics like this Beef Stew stand the test of time for a reason: because they’re delicious! And when my great Aunt Bee sent me her long-loved recipe for the dish, I instantly knew that it would become a regular in our family’s dinner rotation as well. How could it not?! It’s just SO EASY!
Aunt Bee’s Dump and Go Beef Stew Recipe
Serves: 6
Prep: 15 mins

- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 2 onions, diced
- 1 (8 oz.) container sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup + ½ can water
- 1 large russet potato, sliced

1. Stir together all ingredients in a large casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid (or use aluminum foil to cover a casserole dish tightly).
2. Bake at 275 degrees F for approximately 5 hours.

A bean pot works nicely….
I can sure remember my mother soaking the beans over night, then the next day
rinsing them, add a piece of salt pork, brown sugar & putting everything in a “bean pot” in the oven & making pot of baked beans ! Fantastic eating
My mom’s chicken and dumplings was the best dinner on a cold day!
Have you ever made this in a crock pot? Would you cook it for the same # of hours (4-6 hours on high/low)? Sounds like a wonderful dish, especially for the winter!
cheapeatsththriftycrafts.com dump&gobeefstew can i make this in a slow cooker and if so how long
This is a really great recipe for Beef Stew; perfect for these cold, January nights! I’ve found that using a Dutch Oven works nicely for creating a down-home, authentic flavor. I’ve also read some Guiness beef stew recipes that seem worth while!
Am alergic to mushrooms. .can I use any other canned soup like celery to make this dish..sounds wonderful
Can this be cooked in a crock pot and if so how long and what temp.. Please answer would love to try this soon. 🙂
It seems a few of us would like to make this in a crock pot but there are no answers?
I’m with you Eva, but there are other questions people have asked too and no response. So I don’t know why you would post these recipes and not answer the questions. May just have to delete this site and find another one. 🙁
Sorry but forgot to mention we may just have to go over to The Seasoned Mom and ask her. She gets back to just about everyone that leaves her a question or comment..
