Dutch Oven Beef Stew with Butternut Squash

Several weeks ago I purchased a large package of meat for beef stew, that was reduced for quick sale. I split the meat up into 3 baggies, added some seasoning and then tossed them in the freezer. Then came the $.59 butternut squash from Aldi.

Put it all together…and you’ve got this fantastic, warm your tummy stew. The Dutch oven does a fantastic job of cooking the beef, making it perfectly tender and ultra delicious. This stew has a wonderful balance of flavors, colors and textures…perfect for your next dinner!

(This stew could be served as is, or with any accompanying side dish.)
