Notes

  • Feel free to add your favorite meat substitute into this stew.
  • Mushrooms would be a great addition to this recipe.  If using, add to the stew when adding in carrots and potatoes.
  • Peel potatoes if desired.  I recommend keeping some skin on to add texture.
  • Adjust spices and seasonings to your taste.
  • See blog post above for Instant Pot and slow cooker instructions.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month.
