Beef stew is a comfort food for sure. And I use a simple homemade dry-seasoning mix when I make beef stew, or even just to add flavor to other hearty soups.
It’s comprised of just a few standard pantry ingredients and gives your stew the thick savory flavor you love. Plus it gives you control over salt content too.

We all know you can chop & freeze excess onions. But I’ve taken it a step further.
