Serve with warm, crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3–4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Variations
Add peas or green beans in the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra color and nutrition. For a richer stew, replace some of the water with red wine or additional beef broth. Swap thyme for rosemary or sage for a slightly different flavor profile.
