Hearty Pork Stew

Submitted by PugMomma Brenda

"This is an excellent pork stew for a nice cold night. I did serve this over hot noodles and I am sure it would be good over rice as well. I got the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Annual Recipes 2007 and it was submitted by Lucille Howell, Portland Oregon."
