Guinness Stew

12/03/19 | Autumn, Beef, bread, brown sugar, budget, budget-friendly, butter, comforting, frozen, garlic, healthy, herbs, holidays, home, homemade, soup, stew

We wish for chilly weather just so we can have Guinness Stew. Start cooking around early lunchtime or so. About an hour before serving, start baking the Irish Soda Bread. Speckled with sweet currants and peppery caraway seeds, it’s so lovely with Guinness Stew. Nix the meat and this is perfect for your veggie friends.

Guinness Stew

Fortunately, we’ve got a very nice cold front this year. Chilly evenings, rain drops clickety-clacking on the roof set the scene for a big, comforting bowl of warm stew. The slow cooker does all the work. So you can just change out of your work clothes and into cozy pajamas while your dinner cooks itself!

    Dear Colette, first up, I like the idea of letting the slow cooker do most of the work – sounds good to me. Then serving a nice homemade soda bread alongside your lovely Irish stew is a wonderful idea as well. I wouldn’ t mind relaxing tonight with a big bowl of your delicious Guinnes Stew and bread in my hand, it sounds incredibly delicious with all those mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and beef.

    This is my kind of meal. The combination of flavors you’ve combined are so dreamy and comforting. And I love the clickety-clacking on a roof! 🙂 ~Valentina
