The Recipe: Gluten Free Dairy Free Freezer Beef Stew GFCF OAMC

Servings: 12
You can replace the sweet potato with regular red potatoes if you don't freeze the potatoes at the time of assembly. Put all ingredients except for the potato in your freezer container, then make a note on your freezer label the amount of potato needed for the recipe and freeze. When you cook your meal, add the cubed red potato at cooking time.
