When the weather is chilly, there is nothing quite like a batch of beef stew to help make you feel all warm and toasty!

Fall and winter are the perfect time to whip up a batch of homemade beef stew. And if you like things that are easy and fuss-free, this slow cooker recipe is the perfect quick prep meal to make! It is hearty, tasty, and will warm you to your toes too! Classic comfort food at its finest. I actually really like to use a little less broth because I like my stew thick and really hearty! It sticks to the ribs, and I like it that way!

This recipe is both gluten and grain-free, although the potatoes prevent it from being paleo-friendly. If you eat Paleo, you can substitute cauliflower for the potatoes.
