Beef stew has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. There’s just something about that rich, savory gravy that tastes like home.

I remember Mom making beef stew often. Stew meat was relatively cheap and, combined with the other inexpensive ingredients, made an affordable way to feed the family. But it never tasted like the frugal meal it was. It always seemed like so much more.

Mom always pulled out the slow cooker for this dish. Slow cooking is the perfect method to get that fall-apart tender beef and decadent gravy.
