YUMMMMM.... you won't be sorry if you decide to make this stew. I substituted a sweet potato for the potatoes called for, left out the peas and doubled the corn. I served this to company tonight with some nice hot rolls followed by a peach pie. I really want to say thank you so much for making me look like a good cook!
