Healthy Beef Stew Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep– Cook the stew and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids).
Frozen Stew– Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the stew will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room.
Refrigerated Stew– Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days.
Reheating– Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low, or defrosted stew for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat.
