Best Ever Beef Stew

November 23, 2020 by Kristin Leave a Comment

A flavorful, classic beef stew that is packed with flavor! Tender beef, carrots, and potatoes combined with seasonings that makes this the BEST EVER Beef Stew!

Last week, Houston decided to give us a small glimpse of Fall and lower the temperature to the 70’s-80’s. Yes, much better than the 90’s-100, but still not quite sweater/jacket weather, which I am anxiously awaiting!

To get into the Fall mood before it turned to winter, I decided to make Beef Stew for dinner!

I wanted something hearty, flavorful, and cozy tasting! This BEST EVER Beef Stew definitely was that!

Using a chuck roast, the beef was perfectly tender! The potatoes and carrots all but melted in our mouth…and the savory broth was so flavorful!

Using my bread machine, I served our stew with homemade white bread, which was so tasty when dipped in the stew!

Not only did all three of my kids enjoy it, but my mom came over for dinner and said it was by far the best meal I have made her EVER! Impressive compliment, right?

With the cooler weather headed our way (or already here depending on where you live), this stew is just what the season calls for!

Flavorful, simple to prepare, hearty, and a classic cozy meal! Enjoy on its own or serve with bread, rolls, a side salad, etc.

Plus, you can prep it ahead of time and simply warm it up when its time to serve! This recipe makes enough for about 8 people, depending on bowl size of course!

Enjoy and let me know what you think if you try it! Let’s connect on Instagram too, click HERE!
