Easy Hearty Beef Stew

This 1-2-3 recipe turned out so yummy I thought I’d share. I only got the finish pot-full pictured but it was gobbled up. Cold fall days mom would make a huge pot of stew. She give us kids a tin bowl full with a wooden spoon and we pretend to be cowboys around the campfire eating stew and telling stories.

This I made in my pressure cooker or a All day crock pot works just fine.
