Recipe: Freezer Bag Beef Stew

By

As part of my family’s goal to eat healthier and not order meals, I am making freezer bag meals. I prepared several meals for my husband and kids to have while I am traveling. My husband loves beef stew, so I put together two bags of freezer bag beef stew (and I am hoping that he saves one of them for us to have together when I get back).

  1. What a wonderful idea, this would help with the not eating out period. Helps the family budget and is much healthier for you.

  2. I am actually making stew for dinner tonight using the Clubhouse Mix, but I hadn’t thought about making it up in advance to have in the freezer. Thanks for the tip!

  4. What a super idea! Hearty meal, saves soo much space in a freezer doing them in bags like that. Thank you for the great idea!

  5. I use red wine in my stew too. but I started to like guinness in my stews and roasts better.

  6. Thanks so much for this recipe! I’m going to make a huge batch this weekend!

  7. I’ve never tried Club House stew mix but I use several of their other mixes and their gravy mixes are great. I’m looking forward to trying this out, thank you.

  8. I had beef stew for supper tonight. My recipe is much the same as yours only I can’t use the Clubhouse mix because of the sodium.

  9. Wow Sheri this is organized and smart. I need to take a day and just cook like crazy and bag meals like you do. My husband is pretty good in the kitchen but time is always the issue. If I go away he is left racing the girls around to martial arts, acting,singing etc.

  11. This is a great idea! I could cook up a batch and then put in smaller portion sizes for my hubby to take to work!

  15. Great idea! I usually do my meal prep on Sunday.. this will be great to have as an option during the week!

  16. I love these ideas Of freezer bag meals!!! Soo easy to make some yummy meals quick thanks!

  17. I love the idea of having meals being prepared ahead of time so that, if life gets hectic or for any other reason, you have something on hand to cook for your family and something that doesn’t take constant watching.

  18. Great idea to prep ahead of time life gets so busy and coming up with dinner at the last minute is stressful

  19. I an an old bachelor who cooks for himself and loves stews..this freezer bag idea is fabulous for those days I just don’t want to cook
