Wanted to make stew so went for this one. My husband really enjoyed it but me not so much - it tasted a bit too much of worcestershire sauce for my liking but as my husband says Worcestershire Sauce is used a lot in Texan food (?) no idea if he is right since we are not from the US. He loved the stew which is great, thanks for the recipe.

A smokier, spicier version of plain old beef stew. The corn makes a nice addition - I always love anything with corn! I did not include celery, and had to use Italian diced tomatoes because that's what I had. I used 1/8 of a cup of Worcestershire sauce because I figured that's what one ounce was. It is true that this is perfect on a cold winter's night.

Don't you just love it when something smells so wonderful that everyone crowds into the kitchen, begging to know when dinner will be ready? This one had us hooked long before we took the first bite! I cubed a 2-lb. chuck roast and doubled everything else except the worcestershire sauce. Afraid it might be a little overpowering, I reduced it to about 1-1/4 oz., which seemed just right to us. Along with a salad and some good bread, this was true comfort food on a chilly night. Thanks so much for sharing, Legal Lady!~
