Notes

Feel free to swap ingredients based on what you have. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes, and ground turkey or chicken can substitute for beef. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months. For added flavor, consider browning the onions along with the beef or adding a splash of red wine to the broth. This stew is easy to customize and great for busy weeknights or gatherings!
