The ultimate comfort food that simmers all day while you live your life—then gathers everyone around the table with one deeply savory, soul-warming spoonful.
This isn't your fussy, last-minute stovetop version. Here, humble stew meat surrenders to hours of gentle heat, emerging impossibly tender in a rich mushroom-onion gravy laced with Worcestershire depth and a swirl of cool sour cream. No standing over a skillet. No timing stress. Just walk in the door to a house that smells like childhood, and a dinner that says, "You belong here."
