I love this recipe because it’s SUPER easy, yummy on a cold fall or winter evening & it isn’t filled with a bunch of ingredients you can’t pronounce.
When I was first trying to make Beef Stew, all I could find were recipes that started with cream of chicken soup or onion dip mix. When I looked at the ingredients in those products, I wasn’t down with it. So I was determined to make a beef stew recipe that was completely from scratch & totally yummy.
I think I aced it!
Stew Meat (cut up into cubes) OR Soup Bones – 2 lbs (I like the Soup Bones Better)
