Working Barn Stew Recipe
by Tracey Tee of Delight.com
It is Soup Weather. And stew, and chili and crock pot weather…and you won’t find a bigger fan of hot, delicious meals-in-a-bowl than me. I’ve been making this stew for years – 4 years in fact – when it was emailed to me by my dear, dear friend Carrie. I’ve modified it a bit over time to add a few more veggies for vitamins and more beans because I love beans. This is a perfect and EASY mid-week meal that will last a couple dinners or a few lunches. It’s also a great meal if you have last minute guests and don’t have time for anything fancy.
