I must admit, never been a huge fan of Beef stew. I could take it or leave it, ya know? But, we made this one a couple days ago and I was definitely not leaving it. Gorgeous. Again, was perfect after a long day out in the rain visiting farmers and making deliveries. If you like your warming comfort food definitely give it a whirl 🙂
