Well, I love cooking with a variety of vegetables. It's been a while i cooked at home so I decided to have myself a homecooked treat.

On cold days, I love having something warm with bread for dinner after work. I made this dish, my friend!

It’s funny... I made some chili last week. As I was thinking in my head, “What the hell goes in chili”? I started saying, “Wait, no. This is sounding like a beef stew”. So... I decided to make a beef stew now. It’s cold now and these dishes warm the soul. I never appreciated beef stew when I was younger. But I realize how fine of a dish it is in my older age haha.

I made this for my parents for dinner 40 plus years ago. They both wanted to know what I used for thickening. It turns out it was the way I cut the potatoes and floured the beef before I browned it. My Dad loved my stew! Needless to say, I've been making stew the same way ever since and never without thinking about my Dad. . . "Good times around the family table".

I was in the mood for a nice hearty winter meal and this did the trick, it also gave me a reason to break in my little 2 qt crock pot!

I don't have a slow cooker and I was hungry, so I cooked quickly. The meat is still very tender.

This stew consists of slow-cooked beef cubes with onions, potatoes, and carrots in a tomato beef broth. A delicious and easy recipe, perfect for enjoying warm or hot on cold days 🌧
