This is another freezer meal recipe that I recently got from my sister in law. Now nothing will beat my mom’s recipe for oven stew, but this freezer beef stew is a good alternative.

I cooked this freezer beef stew using the crock pot method. Now there are two things I would change about this recipe. First, the 1/2 tsp of pepper was too much for me. The stew had a very strong pepper flavor, so next time I’d reduce the pepper to at least 1/4 tsp.

Second, when this beef stew was done cooking, it looked more like beef soup. I like my stew thick, not runny. So I mixed 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and added it to the crock pot. Next, I turned it on high for 30 minutes. That worked out great. Still not as thick as I’m use to, but it was much better.
