Old Fashioned Beef Stew
Hearty old fashioned beef stew is a classic comfort meal everyone loves.
I’m a huge fan of good old fashioned beef stew. There’s just something so comforting about spooning up those big chunks of meat, potatoes, carrots, and onion. The first cold spell of the Fall I immediately went to work creating a heart warming stew. Today I’m giving directions for how to make it the old fashioned way on the stove top, but you can also make this in a slow cooker. Follow steps 1 and 2 and then combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Then cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Follow step 5 to thicken stew if needed and cook another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Check out the video where I walk you through every step of the recipe.
