      Is it 3 cups of beef broth that is used in this recipe?

        I am assuming it is chicken broth that was on the Costco list for this meal plan, but you could obviously change it out to beef broth

      Would it be ok to freeze without the beef broth…and then add into the crockpot at cooking time?
      I’m thinking this would save room in my freezer. Thoughts?

      Sounds good but I would not freeze the potatoes. Add them fresh because otherwise your potatoes in the stew will taste watery and mushy. I find that both potatoes and rice don’t freeze very well.
      Note: You can freeze mashed potatoes for other dinners, if you mix them with sour cream before freezing them.

      Oh I almost forgot, always add a bay leaf to the beef stew and it will taste better.

      It is deliciously simple! One if my fav beef stew recipes. The potatoes freeze well, especially russett. Adding broth later is a great idea!

      Eh, this didn’t taste very good to us. I will say that the gold potatoes froze great. It was missing something overall though. We used chicken broth as she states. Maybe it needs beef broth. I doubt it will be made again. Loved making all the 20 freezer bags though. Fun afternoon with my husband helping me chop and cut everything. This was the first of our 20 we have eaten so here is to hoping the taste gets better.

      I think I will add some Worchestire sauce and Balsamic Vinegar to this to make it more tasty!
