Beef Stew with Creamy Mashed Potatoes

This meal is already hearty and filling, but you can serve it with crusty bread, dinner rolls, steamed green beans, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

The combination of tender beef, rich gravy, vegetables, and buttery mashed potatoes makes this a true comfort-food classic.

Pro Tip: For the richest result, don’t skip browning the beef before adding the broth. Those browned bits left at the bottom of the pot become part of the gravy and add a huge amount of flavor.
