The Best Instant Pot Beef Stew
The middle of February is a great time for comfort food. One recipe I turn to over and over is my beloved Crockpot Beef Stew, because it’s so warm and satisfying. Have you tried it yet? It’s a fan SUPER favorite!
There’s only one problem: cooking it in the crock takes anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. That’s a good thing if you want to throw the meal together in the morning and have a hot dinner waiting at the end of the day…but what if you’ve just come home from work and you’re really in the mood for a good beef stew? It’s too late to start cooking it then.
