A1 Beef Stew

This was the perfect meal to come home to after an afternoon adventure/walk to the park! It was just cold enough outside to be chilly, but not so cold that we didn’t enjoy ourselves! Arriving home to this soup was lovely!

Warmed our tummies right up!

Here is the “doubled” version of the recipe! The total cost is not under $5…but since it is two meals worth…we divide by 2 and the overall cost is well below $5 per meal. The other half is going into the freezer!
