On crisp Sunday football afternoons and chilly winter evenings when the snow flurries are flying, a warm bowl of canned stew is a must. Canned beef stew from Dinty Moore — chock full of beef chunks, diced potatoes and carrots in a thick beef broth — offers a nourishing and flavorful meal that warms up quickly on the stovetop or in the microwave.

We recommend enjoying canned stew with a dash of pepper and a side of saltines. Canned beef stew is also hearty when served over mashed potatoes or French fries. (You can even top it with shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.)

Tailgating or camping? Throw a few cans of canned beef stew in your bag and you'll have a convenient easy-to-make meal or snack on hand when chow time comes.

The next time you shop at Vons, be sure to grab canned beef stew and keep your pantry stocked. With canned stew, you can whip up a seasonal favorite in a matter of minutes that's sure to please the entire family.
