This was different and delicious served over mashed garlic potatoes. We just loved the flavor the cranberries added to this simple stew! I, also, cooked mine in the crockpot after searing the meat, and cooked on low for about 5 hours. The meat was tender and the gravy it all made was perfectly thick for our tastes. It only needed salt and pepper at the table and it was perfect! I will make this again! ZWT9

Prepped this gorgeous stew before I left for work on Saturday and tossed it all in the crockpot so it'd be ready when everyone got home from work. It was a wet and rainy day so perfect for a stew. Wow! I'm not sure I can make my old recipe anymore, this was soooooo good ! Everyone gave it two thumbs up ! Thank you so much for a new wet or cold weather staple Strawberrybird ! Made for Team Tasty Tester's during ZWT #9 :)
