Looks good, but I don’t eat beef. Can this be made with chicken or something else? Just curious!
This stew is amazing! I made it last night, and my husband and kids loved it. Will be adding it to our dinner rotation for sure!
I dunno, my stew always turns out better than this. Maybe it’s the beef or the broth? Just felt like something was missing.
I think the recipe needs more seasoning, like maybe some herbs? It was a bit bland for my taste. Gonna try adding thyme next time.
