Beef Braised Stew w/
Mashed Potatoes
HUBBY DELICIOUS METER: 9/10
A country-style comfort food that will satisfy any meat & potato lover!
This can be made with red, russet, or golden potatoes. Whether you are cooking for two or more, adjust portions for meat, cheese, spices and veggies as desired.
I use two small potatoes per person.
You will also need either a dutch oven, cast-iron skillet or some kind of bakeable skillet/pan.
