It's best after it sits in the fridge overnight.
Anyone have a good stew recipe? or any other cool weather food?

With a high of 11c expected in London today, only 7 weeks before midsummer, you'll understand that most of what we eat in Britain has to be 'cool weather'. A stew is a good start, but we'd also eat roasts or bakes to keep warm.
I'm assuming from your question that you have limited cooking skills; why not try doing a lasagne? At it's simplest, you'd buy a sauce in a jar, add it to browned mince, layer it with pasta sheets, grate cheese on top and bake it.
I'm not a great a cook, I'm can manage a bit. I can do basic roasts and that kind of thing.
Lassagne is good but it's just me at home and it's not something I would eat a lot of and I don't find it tasty after sitting the freezer for a few weeks. Although this might be more to do with the fact that I have to use gluten free pasta. Thanks for the suggestion though, I wouldn't have thought of doing it without the cheese sauce.
Stew and curry are great because they freeze better, although I usually end up eating them before I need freeze them.
I like all that kind of comfort food, just to hot here in summer to want to cook it or even be bothered to eat anything half the time.
Ok. Sure, wheat-free pasta doesn't last well, it turns into cardboard.
I don't understand though, it sounds like you already make 'freezer stews', so you must already have a recipe. Do you just want ideas?
I have a recipe but the book is out on loan. Also there are different versions so wondering what people put in theirs.
My mum does a nice lamb stew. With carrots, onions, swede, and dumplings on the top. Oh, dumplings, how I love thee...
I made a damn nice beer and beef casserole last year. Must make it again soon...
A basic stew/casserole; 1chopped onion, 2 carrots, 2 large spuds, any other left veg. Chop fry any meat, I use stewing steak and mince.
Add 1-2 pint of good stock @seasoning- I tend to casserole in oven for 1-2hr, and do a slow easy fruit cake aswell.
Pastry/dumplings can be added 15 mins before end, easy!
