    SO GOOD, we realized we only had 1p stew beef from our farm box and tried to modify time down by 30 min but carrots were still al dente. Keep to the times, and double the recipe next time for alllll the leftovers.

    Love love love this! Not sure I ever ate stew over potatoes before and it was delicious. Have made it a few times since. Have to be in the mood to put in the work though. Not a weekday meal. But does make great leftovers.

    I've made this stew before but I came back for these potatoes to use as a base for a different beef braise. I don't often have a brick of cream cheese on hand, but when I do, I'm always looking for ideas to use it up and this is a good one worth repeating...especially with the optional roasted garlic!

    Beef stew is one of those "build it as you go from memory" recipes for me based on multiple versions from over the years BUT yes - I was looking to cook from my books. This version looked a bit different so off I went, but of course I added "the" red wine and reduced it with the onions etc before I realized that the recipe didn't actually call for any ..... Oh well, too late to deal with that. The jalapeño and beans (I used a couple of big handfuls of frozen cooked navy beans ) were a nice change from the usual suspects. This was made on Sunday and served on Monday with mashed potatoes (not hers - no cream cheese in the fridge) and yes - it was good :)

    This was a hit at my house. I scooped out some potatoes for my son in law before adding the cream cheese since he isn't a fan. Never had beans in a beef stew but they were a nice addition. She says white so I used cannellini beans
