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!
