This is by far our favorite recipe for stew. I have been making it for 16 years now. It is from the cook book called Cooking from Quilt Country, with contains all Amish recipes. I tried a new recipe I found on RecipeZaar, for stew last night, just for a change. No way did it compare to this recipe. I will stick to this one.
