This is my first official post on the new website! Woo Hoo! What do you all think of it?! I am hoping it is much easier for you all to navigate and access recipes.
This beef stew recipe is a staple in our house even when it is 90 degrees outside. It is basically an easy and convenient pot roast which is one of my all-time favorite meals. It is one of those meals that I have been making for a long time but have never taken the time to write down. I figured it was probably time to share one of our go-to weeknight meals.
This recipe is very customizable to your personal preference. You can easily switch out vegetables or add more or less of something. It is a pretty large batch of stew so it is great for leftovers the next day.
Enjoy!

I am one of the few fortunate souls who has actually eaten this recipe straight from Jessi’s kitchen. It is as good as it looks. A perfect meal any time of the year.
