Skip Ahead:
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.
