Homemade Beef Stew

I love comfort all year round, but winter time seems to be when it is most comforting. There is nothing better than a big pot of warm comfort food on a cold winter evening. Beef stew is a comfort food that I don't make often and I am not really sure why! It's easy, versatile and delicious. I like to add pasta to mine to give it an extra layer of heartiness, too.

Here is how I make mine, but you can swap out veggies however you like and omit pasta as well. Hope everyone enjoys!

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 pounds cubed beef

1 medium yellow onion

1 can whole kernel corn or two ears fresh whole kernel corn

4 Carrots

1 Large Can Whole Tomatoes

3 to 4 potatoes

3 tablespoons beef bouillon

1 chicken bouillon cube

Kosher Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

2 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons white wine

Directions

In a large pot heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add beef and cook until brown on each side. Remove meat from pot and set aside. Add diced onions and carrots and saute for about 5 minutes until onions become translucent. Add two peeled and smashed garlic cloves. Add white wine and let simmer for about 2 minutes. Add can of whole tomatoes. Break up tomatoes with spoon or knife. Break each into about four pieces. Add beef and chicken bouillon. Add browned stew meat back into pot.

Let simmer on low heat covered while you peel and dice 4 medium potatoes. Transfer soup into crock pot and add potatoes. Stir and cook for about 4 hours on low. Add drained corn and about 1 1/2 cups macaroni. Cook an additional 30 minutes or until noodles are as soft as you like. Serve & enjoy!
