Old-Time Beef Stew
About Beef Stew
I grew up with this stew. My grandmother and mother made this on weekends, anytime the pastor came over for dinner. My grandmother even told me story's of her mother making this. This stew was my favorite meal as a child. The smell of cooking would fill the house, and no one could wait for it to be done. Just thinking about it still makes my mouth water. My mother would sever hers with homemade yeast rolls. At the same time, my grandmother would choose sweet cornbread. The cornbread was always what I wanted, and I recommend serving it some with your stew.
This is the same recipe they made, and I now make it for my family. You can add pearl onions, green beans, or corn to it if you want, but enjoy my just basic sometimes; I will even leave out the peas
