"The Best Beef Stew is simply that: the best! It's hard not to be the best when it has the hearty, heartwarming, and wholesome flavor of the slow-simmered meal of your dreams: tender, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of beef swim in a savory, rich, herb-infused stew with fluffy potatoes and constellations of bright green peas. The Best Beef Stew leaps from your imagination onto the table, just begging you to scoop it up by the spoonful or with a slice of crusty bread. Once you try it, you'll know it's the best too!..."
