closeup of hearty beef stew with mashed potatoes

Rich & Hearty Beef Stew

My husband and boys are meat and potato kind of guys. They love meatloaf, ribs, steak and everything in between but one of their favorite dishes is this hearty beef stew served over mashed potatoes.

This particular time, I made this on the stove because I wanted a richer sauce. But normally I just throw all of the ingredients (but only 1 cup of beef broth) in the crock pot and cook it on low for 6 hours. It still have the same, delicious flavor but a looser, more liquidy (is that even a word?) sauce.

Enjoy!
