Yellowstone Beef Stew with Potatoes & Carrots
Yellowstone Beef Stew with Potatoes & Carrots is a newer canned stew that shoppers are raving about. “As a senior that has made beef stew from scratch for many years….I give this 5 stars. It has real stew meat instead of the soy/ground beef in Dinty Moore and others. As we’ve gotten older with some health issues I can’t stand in the kitchen and cook meals like I once did so I’m always on the lookout for something tasty and quick. I think this is wonderful Beef Stew! We make biscuits and then freeze them for later use at meals. We took out a biscuit, heated till warm in the oven and had a very good, satisfying meal!” a shopper writes. “Absolutely delicious! In looking at the ingredients seeing the seasonings show the love put into this product! After trying the first time have at least two cans as a pantry, staple at all times! Highly recommended! Actually for a quick meal heat 3 cans up and serve over packet of baby reds instant potatoes! Delicious!!!” another adds.
