Spinach Beef Stew

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 35 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
I came up with this recipe using what I had on hand one day, and it remains a family favorite on these colder New England days. It's a fabulous was to use up leftover roast. In fact, it's so good you might want to plan to have leftovers the next time you make a roast. —Amy Leary, Burlington, Connecticut
