Wow! Kitten, this is FANTASTIC! I loved it so much! I doubled the amount of beef broth (2 cups) because I didn't want leftovers from the can, and because I knew most of it would be reheated and it would help it to not dry out. This is definitely a recipe that I will make again and again. (And I'm giving it to my mom too!) Thank you so much for all of your great recipes!

Where do I begin? You had me at the bacon grease and from there it was magic! This stew as so easy to prepare. As I browned the beef, my daughter prepared all of the veggies - then it was in the oven and let me tell you, the aroma coming from my kitchen was mouth-watering! We served this with crescent rolls and it was the perfect meal on a cold winter night. Thanks for another fantastic recipe!
