Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew #SundaySupper

No browning of the beef is required for this easy Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew recipe. Simple, healthy comfort food that the whole family will love! {gluten free, dairy free} 

This Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew is my absolute favorite beef recipe.  It is a simple recipe made with wholesome ingredients that is pure, healthy comfort food. Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew  is packed with beef, lots of vegetables, is easy to make and is just delicious.  What could be better?   Well, my friends, it gets better.  What if I told you that all that you need to do is mix up a simple sauce, cut the vegetables, cube the meat, and that’s it.  There is no browning of the meat required…just put everything in the pot and then pop it in the oven!  A few hours later you will have perfectly browned and tender beef and vegetables.

This Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew recipe is an updated recipe to a previous version on the blog.  Not only did it need updated photos, but I refined the recipe to make it even easier and tastier!  However there is really no right or wrong way to make it.  If you favor carrots over potatoes, for example, adjust amounts accordingly.  I love that, for a majority of the time, this is hands off.  It’s great for entertaining, so you can spend more time with your guests instead of the kitchen.

Pop-in-the-Oven Beef Stew is one of those recipes that is a classic that everyone loves. It is perfect for any lazy Sunday, for entertaining, or for whatever reason, it is simply delicious.  This one is a keeper!
