Homemade Beef Stew Recipe
Green peas and potatoes are a classic but dumplings, or ricotta Italian gnocchi make a really lovely substitute. Can be made on your stove top, oven or slow cooker! And tough the recipe calls for browning the chuck roast, you are free to skip this step and go on the healthier side. I’ve experimented both ways and couldn’t tell a change in flavor. Ultimately your call and don’t forget you can can even freeze it If you want.
