Stew with Sean: Carrot Stew

Carrot stew was originally something I made by throwing some leftover ingredients into a crockpot, with spicing based loosely on some old recipes from my parents. It turned out much better than I had expected, and quickly became one of my favorite things to eat, especially during the winter. It’s hot. It’s got a lot of flavor and a thick gravy. And best of all, it’s easy to make.
