As the weather grows cooler and you look for meals to warm you up, try this hearty vegetable beef stew. Full of beef and vegetables it’s perfect for a weekend lunch or weeknight dinner during autumn and winter. Leftovers, if there are any, are easily reheated on the stove or in a microwave. Taste for seasoning before serving. I usually like to add a little pepper.
Much of the prep work can be done in advance when you have time. Trim the beef and chop the vegetables in advance to get this meal on the table more quickly on a busy night.
Often, I’ll serve this stew with my cornbread muffin recipe, Pillsbury crescent rolls, Hawaiian rolls (a favorite with my kids), or a nice crusty French bread. All are perfect for sopping up the broth.
