Creamy, comforting, and hearty…This pot roast stew is a little bowl of heaven, and the perfect winter’s night one pot meal!
We finally had another cool front come through the other night and I’m so thankful! It’s been a really warm winter and fall so far which has been a bummer!
This time of year I love whipping out my crockpot and cast iron soup pots and making big batches of hearty soups and stews but we haven’t had cool enough weather consistently yet that has made me want to do it.
But then it happened! A night where temps dropped into the high 40s and I immediately craved my grandfather’s pot roast recipe. Only problem…
It was too late to make it.
I went to the grocery store anyway and was getting the ingredients for it, but when I got to the meat counter I saw stew meat was on sale and that’s when the light bulb went off. 🙂
Don’t you love when your inspired to recreate something?
You guys…
It is probably up there with one of my most favorite soups! It turned out so so SO GOOD, and will most definitely be on repeat this winter season!
Best part about it is now anytime I’m craving pot roast, I can whip this up in a fraction of the time! I actually may even like it better… 😉
Here’s how to make it!
