beef stew

I have never made Beef Stew. I know, you would think, at my age, I would have made this many times.  I have always just bought Dinty Moore in the can. (I just heard a bunch of cooks gasp.) As I said earlier, I checked The Mace Family Cookbook and could not find a recipe so I went searching and found this one on Allrecipes.com. David “helped me” modify it.

Every time I step outside and it 'feels' like winter, I think of a hot soup or stew with some homemade bread.  Unless it is Sunday and we have lots of time, the bread thing isn't an option -- but a great, warm bowl of stew or soup is!  Here are some of our family tips and tricks, along with a beef stew with three variations that will warm your tummy.  Have a recipe to share?  Post it below!
