Jump to Recipe

Fall Frenzy Roast Stew is the meal that fills your home with cozy aromas and comforts every spoonful. With tender bites of Black Angus roast, each piece absorbs warm holiday spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—while the savory foundation of garlic and onion provides depth. The diced bacon adds a subtle smoky layer, enhancing the deliciousness and richness of the beef. 

Pumpkin brings a velvety texture and a touch of sweetness, while jellied cranberries give a bright, tart twist that balances the stew's richness. The apple juice and cider vinegar complement the pumpkin and cranberry, deepening the fall flavors and adding a soft acidity that brightens the stew without overwhelming it. Granny Smith apples and carrots bring a gentle crunch and earthy sweetness that melds all the ingredients together perfectly with the savory broth. 

Finish off with a sprinkle of parsley, each bowl of this stew feels like a celebration of fall's best flavors. Pair the meal with your favorite warm bread for a filling, hearty and tasty meal. Fall Frenzy Roast Stew is a hearty dish that is perfect for those cold autumn nights.
