I have not tried it in a crock pot but someone else did and here is
how they did it. I think I will try it this way next time.

Here is one way to make it in a crock pot
cook the hamburger in a skillet and when that was done, quickly put all the vegetables (onions, carrots, celery and potatoes) in the skillet with the flour, butter and some of the chicken stock to deglaze. After a few minutes put the hamburger, vegetables and chicken stock in the crock and let cook all day. Then about 1/2 hour before eating, put the cheese, milk ,and sour cream in the crock pot and let melt/cook.

SuperDave,

I don't see any reason why you can't use beef stock, either.

Thanks. :C

We tend to use our crock pot more this time of the year.

In our effort to cut down on our meat consumption I've forum that a piece of fake country rib works great. It makes the beans taste like they have meat in them while the real volume is minimal.
I take some of what I call fake country ribs, the ones cut from the leftovers after a pork butt roast is trimmed, and smoke them. I then cut them in to 2" pieces and freeze them. Throw them in a pot of beans and when they are heated I pull them. They pull into very small pieces and add flavor to the smoke flavor alredy added to the beans.

I love recipes that are adaptable to whatever you have on hand. We call those "kitchen sink recipes" (because you can throw in everything but the...)

Beef Stew

To add barley..rinse then simmer barley for at least 1 hour.
Saute stew meat in iron dutch oven in a wee bit of olive oil or butter.
Add raw veggies as meat simmers (onion, celery, carrots, cabbage etc.)
When meat is cooked add 1 quart of home canned whole tomatoes & more water as needed, cooked barley, potatoes, any other left over or cooked veggies (corn, green beans, kidney beans, etc.), 1 to 2 teaspoons of beef bouillon granules, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of Kitchen Bouquet. The beef bouillon adds salt but a little more may be needed.

Simmer on wood stove until done or it can be cooked up in a pressure cooker.

Good point.
