Beef Stew

I can't believe I haven't shared this recipe yet!

It is the. best. stew. ever.




This is definitely a meal that makes frequent appearances on my menu board. Especially when we *enjoy* temperatures in the -30 range....

Paired with an artisian bread or homemade beer bread or even cornbread muffins..... mmmm..... this dish is beyond perfect.

Ingredients:

1 pound stew beef cubes (I usually suck it up and buy it pre-cut at the meat counter, but you can be brave and cut your own roast into 1" cubes)
1 can Golden Mushroom Soup (No substitutions!)
1 can Tomato Soup
4-6 medium potatoes, cubed
2 giant carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
salt and pepper

And after this, you can add your other favorite veggies. I've added a combination of these over the years:

1 can corn, drained
1 can cut beans, drained
1 can peas, drained
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 green pepper, diced
(I'm guessing squashes, sweet potatoes, and other root veggies would also be good in here)

Stir everything together in a crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours or pop it in a soup pot and bake in a 350 oven for 4 hours.


If you're into wild game, this stew is even better than perfect with venison or bison. So tender that is just melts in your mouth. Seriously.

Someone shoot me a deer, quick!
