Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Stewp, consider adding herbs like thyme or bay leaves while it simmers. If you prefer, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef for a leaner option. Canned tomatoes can be replaced with fresh tomatoes; just peel and chop them beforehand. For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Stewp hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a simple side salad. For a heartier meal, serve alongside mashed potatoes or rice. This dish is also great for meal prep, as it tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
Storage & Reheating
Allow any leftovers to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Stewp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally.
