Forgotten Stew

Submitted by SusieQ222

"This is my Aunt Bunny's recipe. I don't know where she got it from, but Mum started make it too & it's made it's way into my own cookbook. I've substituted a good Italian tomato sauce for the soup and I even added wine once. With these you just cook it a bit longer to reduce a bit more. Either way it's a very easy stew and it always tastes good. Oh, I also add garlic."

What a simple and great stew. This is pretty much the way that my Mom used to make it. It was great on a cold and wet day. Thanks SusieQ222 for sharing. Made for Cookbook Tag.

Was going to make just half the recipe for the two of us, but then decided to make it for some neighbors, so made the full batch & included garlic, which they love! Also did not peel the potatoes (lots of nutrition in that peel!) Very easy to make, & a nice, satisfying taste (CERTAINLY, I had a small bowl before delivering the rest elsewhere!) Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I actually doubled this recipe because I wanted to freeze lunch size portions for myself and used my large cast iron dutch oven. I added 3T of beef base (since I wasn't pre-browning my beef) and I added 1T of minced garlic. I used Campbell's organic sun-ripened tomato & basil bisque. I think I should have added more water with maybe some corn starch. But, it tasted fantastic!
