Perfect One-Pot Beef Stew

A family favourite, especially when the weather is cold and there’s some fresh bread to dunk.

I created this the other day using some fresh vegetables and beef I had on hand, and just a couple other very simple ingredients. This was a very easy to put together meal that required little work from me, which was welcome because it was a very busy day.

If you make this anytime soon, please share your thoughts on it with me or tag me in your photos on Instagram. 🙂

Enjoy!
