Sweet Potato Beef Stew Recipe
Sweet Potato Beef Stew
This past summer I've discovered how much I like sweet potatoes. Never having thought of putting them into a beef stew I thought today would be the perfect time to try this. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted.
Having had a frigid and harsh winter this year I've been making many soups and stews to keep us warm. The thing I like about making a stew is that you can make it early in the day, turn it on a low simmer and before you know it it is filling the house with wonderful aromas.
I've been making homemade soups and stews for decades, and find them to be a comfort food. Many people only make and eat soup during the cold months of the year, but I enjoy making soup all year round.
