Beef and Sweet Potato Stew :: 31 Days of Healthy Freezer Meals

I wasn't quite sure what to think when I first heard of using sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes in stew. I was just starting our healthier eating and weight loss journey so I wanted to stick to my plan. But breaking away from the traditional stew recipe? I wasn't convinced.

One time making this recipe, though, and I was hooked! I don't think I'll make stew any other way now!

Beef and Sweet Potato Stew

Ingredients:

1 lb. beef stew meat
