I made beef stew yesterday. Since I liked a few different recipes I added/subtracted some items to come up with my own Belly Warming Beef Stew Recipe – Easy to Make and Tender Meat Results.
Then, I served the stew with my homemade cornbread. Everyone liked it. This one pot beef stew is a great dinner for a cold day or whenever you are craving some good ‘ole home cooking. This stew was easy to make, but it does take some time to cook on the stove. Be sure you make this on a day you will be home for a few hours. You can keep it warm until dinnertime in the crockpot.
