Store & Reheat
As a general rule of thumb, stew tends to store and reheat well because the broth helps retain its flavor and quality. Just one more reason to love this recipe!
Store
Fridge: Transfer the dish to a large glass storage container with an airtight lid. Allow it to cool to room temperature before securing the lid (about 30-45 minutes; the exact time depends on the amount of stew). Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer: You can also freeze the stew for up to 3 months. Place the stew in the fridge to thaw overnight for best results.
Reheat
Microwave: Place stew in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes or until heated through. If reheating larger amounts, stir halfway through to warm it evenly.*
Stovetop: Place stew in a pot over medium-high heat. Once the stew is simmering, reduce to medium-low and cover for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Stir occasionally.*
Oven: Not recommended.
* Total time depends on the amount you are reheating.Keyword crock pot recipes, easy dinner recipes, easy weeknight recipes, One pot meal, slow cooker
