Normally I make Old Fashioned Beef Stew without a recipe that I’ve made for years; however my sister made this Old Fashioned Beef Stew the other day that was yummy! Her Recipe came from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.

https://www.amazon.com/Better-Homes-Gardens-Cook-Book/dp/0544714466/ .

Her stew had a rich thickened sauce from the little bit of flour you tossed the meat. There’s a slight sweet taste, maybe from the vegetable juice, something I had never used in a stew but I think the juice added so much flavor to the stew.

I had to make this old fashioned beef stew and what better time than this chilly weekend! Why would I want to share another cookbook recipe? Because this is Better Homes and Gardens recipe and I think most of us learned how to cook from the old addition of Better Homes and Gardens recipe, and this is a great Old Fashioned Beef Stew I’ll add to my repertoire!
