Thicken gradually: If the stew is too thin after cooking, mix a little flour or cornstarch with water and stir it into the stew. Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes to thicken.
Adjust seasonings: Taste the stew before serving and add salt and pepper as needed. You can also add additional herbs or spices based on your preference.
Let it rest: After cooking, let the stew sit for a few minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and improves the overall taste.
Brown the meat: For extra flavor, brown the ground beef in the pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This caramelizes the meat and enhances the stew’s richness.
Cut vegetables uniformly: Dice the potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and have a consistent texture.
