21 Day Fix Beef & Sweet Potato Stew Recipe

If you don’t know me by now, I don’t waste time in the kitchen and I for sure don’t have hours and hours to waste cooking, prepping and whipping together meals. As much as I love to cook, I’m lucky if I get 20 minutes to throw together a nice meal for my family.

In the summer I always forget to use the crockpot, but when I do I’m always pleased with the outcome! I’m glad I took out the crockpot for this delicious Stew recipe because it opened my eyes to future summer cooking in a jiffy. I was extremely HAPPY with how simple it was to cook this tasty meal.

Another bonus: it works right into the 21 day fix meal plan!! So for all of you out there looking for a healthy dinner recipe that is also comforting, this is a win.

I really do enjoy following recipes, but I can’t say I ever follow them entirely. I work with what I have in my fridge & pantry and I wing it. Sometimes its good and sometimes It’s ehhh. Those recipes I don’t share

When Ava & Marc approve, I know I put together a great dinner!

BEEF & SWEET POTATO STEW RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Beef round or Beef stew meat (in chunks)
• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 can petite diced tomatoes
• 1 medium yellow squash
• 1 medium onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt (or regular sea salt)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh Parsley

Directions:

Chop & dice up all the veggies. Place all ingredients into crockpot & mix well Set heat to low for 6 hours. (mix occasionally) Serve in a bowl and top with fresh parsley!

I loved the simplicity and taste of this meal. The original 21 day fix recipe calls for Butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes and a green pepper instead of a yellow squash, plus a few smaller changes. I am all about working with what you have and what you like to eat so feel free to substitute in any veggies you like, I’m sure it will taste great!
