1-Pot Beef and Loaded Vegetable Stew

Fall is here and were all looking for the next best comforting meal. After asking my followers on Instagram what they want to see for the season, so many of you wanted a meat version of chilli. Ps. If you want a vegetarian version, try this sweet potato one. Truth be told, I don’t really love the spices that go into a classic chilli. No judgement, but that smokey flavour is just not for me. So…I decided to make a dish that is as flavourful as chilli, but without the typical spices.

What I love most about this meal, is you can really dump everything into a pot and let it do its thing. This makes a big batch, so I like to freeze a few small containers for another day. Zach and I ended up going through it so quickly, we actually unfroze some- it was THAT good. To freeze: allow to cool fully, and use air-tight containers. I like to use a label on the outside to note the date as well as what is inside in case I forget! Hard to tell what’s inside a frozen glass container.

Serve this meal over cauliflower rice, polenta, corn chips- or just eat it on its own! ENJOY!
