This is one of my favorite stews to make. No fuss, no bother, and bammmmm....a wonderful meal. The only thing I did differently was to add 1 cup burgundy wine and sometimes add a drained can of green peas. Serve with garlic bread or cornbread. We love this recipe. Thanks for sharing it.

This was awful! Even my husband who will eat anything didn't like it. It was like a thick tomato paste.

This stew was really delicious and so easy to make. It turned out so tender. I think I might try it in the crock pot next time. Thanks for posting this great recipe.
