This stew smells divine while it is cooking and hits the spot on a cold, blustery day. I got the recipe from a dear friend of mine, Mim Haarer years ago.

 Hearty Beef Stew
I do not have an exact recipe for this stew. I slow cook it in my 6 qt. crockpot for 4-6 hours. I am guessing at some of the amounts I use as I do not measure them. You can increase and decrease the potatoes, carrots, celery, onions to your preference.

  1. I use my 6 qt. crockpot set on high or you can cook in a large cooking pot on the stove. I would bring it to a boil and then turn it down to simmer for several hours. The amounts of ingredients can be adjusted to whatever size container you have. Serve with cornbread or grilled cheese sandwiches.

It might be still fall but today felt like winter. The high temperature of the day was first thing this morning (41 degrees) and as the day progressed it got colder. It was a bone chilling cold and rainy day and for a while this afternoon we had a blustery snow shower.  A steaming hot bowl of chili soup at supper time hit the spot with a side of garlic bread.

Recipe Notes

Cheesy Garlic Butter

1/2 cup Softened Butter

1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/3 c. Parmesan Cheese

1 T. Minced Chives (fresh or dried)

1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

Using your mixer, whip all ingredients together. Generously spread on both sides of sliced French Bread and place on the grill or under the broiler of the stove until lightly browned. Toast both sides.

Note: I usually double or x 4 this recipe and keep it in the refrigerator, especially during the winter soup months. It keeps for months in the refrigerator.
