Another great fall/winter food is beef stew. This is another dish that everyone probably makes completely different. This beef stew dish is scrumptious, especially when served on top of a bed of buttermilk mashed potatoes or whole grain rice. This dish is extremely filling and you won't need any additional sides...trust me.
