I made a stew for dinner as I’ve been cutting back on eating to save money. After two weeks of this, I was so hungry I was getting angry and irritable. And my muscles were starting to twitch from lack of red meat. So I took some money and decided stew would probably provide the most servings that I’d eat more than once.
I had read somewhere about using tomato paste in stew. Also to thicken with corn starch. I used veg brought from my local farm stand and the local butcher provided me with the beef. I also used sweet potatoes as they are healthier.
I usually use onion flakes instead of real onions. So today was a treat. I also seasoned with pepper, salt, paprika, and parsley. I used my slow cooker on high for three hours.

It’s been so long since I’ve made a decent stew. So good. I’m freezing some for later. I’m so happy this came out good. What is something that you like to make?
