Tips
Serve in bowls; add noodles and top with Beef Stew.
Garnish with some fresh parsley.
Serve with a nice piece of bread.
I freeze about 1/2 of the stew; it thaws out and heats up again very nicely. If you do freeze a batch of 2 of this stew, be sure to label your container with a date and what is inside!
