Every cook, especially those who cook for families or lots of dinner guests, should have a trustworthy and simple stew recipe that they can make time and again and feel confident it will be a hit. Even if you’re cooking for one, stews are wonderful (perhaps even better) reheated the next day for lunch, and make great freezer-friendly meals you can portion and stash in freezer bags to have at the ready.

Once you get the cooking method down, you can switch up the ingredients in this stew to be anything you want or already have in your pantry or refrigerator. Try swapping out different cuts of meat—boneless lamb shoulder or pork butt—or substitute chicken bone broth or pork stock. Instead of carrots and potatoes, you could make a keto-friendly version with kohlrabi, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant or cauliflower.
