Healthy Beef Stew Perfect For Cold Weather and January Diets

Healthy Beef Stew Perfect For Cold Weather and January Diets

The first time I made this dish, the meat soaked up most of the juice, so the sauce was thick. The second time, it was more stew-like. Both were great.

This second time, I made mashed potatoes to go alongside. I can’t lie. No calories were saved here. I had 2 oz of cream cheese, a handful of shredded cheddar, a 1/2 cup of heavy cream and one piece of bacon left over from demoing recipes for work. Seemed like a good place to use them, no? Man, was it delicious!
