For this casserole I used 2 pounds of stew meat instead of chuck. Chopped one half of an onion and 4 small stalks of celery I needed to use. Served this over brown rice with steamed vegetables and we enjoyed a hearty meal. Think for us a bit more seasoning would have helped the flavors pop and make this a five star recipe.
