This was delicious! We served it over brown rice and used fresh mushrooms, and leftover chuck steak cut. A salad and fresh bread nicely rounded out this meal. Thank you!

This IS wonderful, Bliss. I followed the recipe exactly and it all worked beautifully. Well, I used whole, fresh mushrooms and added a few small potatoes, but otherwise didn't change a thing. What a delicious, perfectly seasoned, perfectly sauced stew. Hubby wants the leftovers for breakfast. We'll see who gets to the breakfast table first.
