Beef stew has found a place in my heart as one of the best comfort foods ever, especially during the fall and winter months. Nothing sits better with me on a Sunday than a big bowl of beef stew, football on the TV and the fire on. To top off, this is an easy crockpot or slow cooker recipe that allows you to put it in and let it simmer for hours. This simmer will fill your house full of fragrant love!
