Teriyaki Beef Stew

Teriyaki Beef Stew seems like it would be too sweet but it is perfectly balanced. I love this slow cooked meal cooks all day while I'm at work.

Teriyaki Beef Stew sounds strange but it has become my favorite stew recipe. I had never heard of adding pop to a recipe before this stew. I initially thought it would make the recipe too sweet but it is really balanced. 

Looking for a new stew recipe that can cook while you are at work? Look no further. I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2016 Annual Recipes Cookbook. I have changed a few things but it is close to the original recipe. 

Cost Per Serving $3.67 as of June 2022

If you have ZERO ingredients then this recipe will cost about $29.34.

If you have a fully stocked pantry this dish will cost about $21.64.

I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
