Beef Stew
Beef Stew is such a comfort food to my family. I love the aroma of the house when this is simmering on the stove top. I do feel with this recipe that you need patience when cooking because this recipe takes a while, but it is worth it in the end! My boys like it when I make Sugar Cornbread to go with this delicious beef stew. I usually have to make a double batch of the cornbread, or we will run out in my house.
