Savory Beef Stew

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2lbs Boneless Chuck Roast or prepared Stew Meat, cut into bite size pieces
• 1 medium Yellow or White onion, peeled and chopped
• 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 bag prepared baby carrots, cut into bite size pieces
• 1 can Whole Kernel Corn
• 1 can Whole Green Beans
• 1 can Sliced Mushrooms or a package of fresh Mushrooms, washed and sliced
• 1 small can Tomato Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 8oz Beef Broth

Instructions

1. Brown the stew meat in a large stock pot or Dutch oven, and season with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder.
2. Once the meat is browned, add the onions, potatoes, carrots, tomato sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Beef Broth, and enough water to cover the mixture.  Cover with a lid, bring to a slow boil and cook for approximately 30 minutes.  Stir the mixture periodically and add water as needed so it doesn't burn.
3. Add the corn, green beans and mushrooms, and bring the mixture back to a slow boil for approximately 30 more minutes, or until the meat is tender.  You can add more water and/or tomato sauce or beef broth if you want more liquid.
4. Top with shredded cheese for a creamier and richer stew.
5. Enjoy!

**Another option we use in our family is substituting Beef Stew Meat or Chuck Roast with Boneless Pork Shoulder.  It gives the stew a slightly different flavor.**

Don't forget:  We have frozen loaves of French Baguettes, Garlic Bread or Garlic Knots in our Retail Store for a fantastic side with your stew!
