"I have tinkered with this, adding a little spicier pepper, but all love it, and it's a no brainer to make because you don't have to brown the meat. Got the basics from the "Best of the Best of Great Plains" cookbook."

A great beef stew! I can't find tapioca in Japan so I finished the stew off with a beurre manier to thicken it slightly. I made a few changes to suit my tastes - I added a tablespoon of worschestershire sauce and a sprig of fresh thyme during cooking. I served this with homemade garlic croutons. Fantastic!

I live in a small town in far southwestern North Dakota and teach at the local school. My husband is a teacher, coach & hunter. Recipes in my repetoire tend to be down-home, and not requiring exotic ingredients, as we are quite isolated from major grocery stores. We have many excellent cooks in this area, though, and exchange recipes frequently. I am a grandma, and also have two Labradors, one just a 10 week old pup. Our dogs are always house dogs as well as hunting companions, so I am busy finding things for him to chew instead of my shoes. We are adjacent to the beautiful North Dakota Badlands and spend alot of time outdoors, hunting, running our dogs and just exploring.
