This recipe works out well for my husband and I. There aren’t usually a ton of leftovers, if any. So, if you have a bigger family, make sure that you plan your ingredients out appropriately. You can also do this stew up in the crock pot if you want to toss it all together in the morning before heading out for a busy day. You won’t believe the amazing aroma that greets you when you walk in the door after this has been cooking all day! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Food.com:
