The weather is starting to get cool in Virginia (I am even wearing my winter coat to work today), so it’s the perfect weather to make a Beef Stew. I used the back of a seasoning packet as a guide, but then just added ingredients that I thought would be great for a meal at home for Austin and me. Instead of using beef broth, I used chicken broth to make it a lot less heavy. I love being at home and smelling the stew cooking all day.
To make this great meal even better, add homemade cornbread topped with honey to serve on the side.
