Best Beef Stew Recipe
The Fall chill is in the air here in Minnesota. We already had our first covering of frost that took out some of my beautiful pepper plants in my garden. I picked the rest of the garden clean and resigned myself to the fact that Summer is over and Fall is definitely in the air. While I’ll be missing the smoothies and grilling that comes with Summer, I’ll be welcoming hot cappuccino and warm, hearty comfort food. Beef stew is classic comfort food and it’s one of those meals that just “sticks to your ribs” and keeps you warm and satisfied. The is absolutely the best beef stew recipe ever. Give it a try and I guarantee you won’t be looking for any other beef stew recipe again.
