Creamy Potato And Beef Stew
Change up your beef stew routine with this creamy take on a classic dish.
We love our slow cooker, but it’s nice to be able to whip up dinner on a whim, so we came up with this creamy beef and potato stew as a great way to use up traditional beef stew ingredients without all-day cooking. Meat and potatoes covered in a creamy cheese sauce are the perfect solutions for an easy and delicious weeknight dinner. These are simple ingredients on their own, but together they elevate dinner to a whole new level.
We cut everything into bite-sized pieces before popping them in the oven to help them cook up quickly. The star of the show here is the creamy cheese sauce, made right in the same pan as the beef and potatoes. The creaminess of the simple cheese sauce turns this hearty meat and potatoes dish into something the whole family asks for by name, and it makes our house smell amazing. It’s simple, flavorful and filling – the perfect combination for any weeknight meal!
