Irish Beef Stew

There is nothing better than a big bowl of stew. Even if it is spring.

Spring in Michigan is really hit-or-miss and some days it’s cold and about 30-40 degrees and some day’s it’s 70+ degrees outside.

So on the cold days, I still like to make some comfort food and cozy on the couch with my favorite shows and a big bowl of soup, stew, or chili. Who doesn’t?

Recently, this bowl of stew just hit the spot. I took my daughter to school and it was snow flurrying outside.. seriously.

It’s the middle of April.

So this is what I ended up making for an early dinner.

We served it over a bed of my homemade mashed potatoes (I’ll have to post the recipe eventually) and it was definitely what was needed on that crazy-snowy-chilly-day.
