Classic Beef Stew

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 2 hours YIELD: 8 servings (2 quarts).
This easy beef stew recipe is my favorite. The rich beef gravy helps the hearty flavor of the potatoes and carrots to come through. It's the perfect homemade dish for a blustery winter day. —Alberta McKay, Bartlesville, Oklahoma
