We loved this! I halved the recipe for the 2 of us, and still had leftovers. I did make a couple of small changes I used stewed tomatoes in place of tomato soup, and fresh green beans,fresh mushrooms, and frozen peas. To make up for the lack of added water from the can veggies I added 1 cup of beef broth. A delicious stew that I will make many times this fall and winter I'm sure! Thanks Lor!

This was simple to throw together and put in the oven, this recipe could also be easily converted to a crock pot recipe, so you could be away all day and not heat the kitchen up. I like the addition of tomato soup to stews and it was good in this recipe, also. I love all the hearty veggies - peas, green beans, mushrooms, potatoes and I also used carrots.

I love easy recipes that I can make earlier in the day and let go until we all get home from work. This recipe had the house smelling wonderful too. I subbed beefbroth for the wine, but other than that..and omitting the mushrooms and peas, made as directed. Thanks for this great stew recipe Lori~!
