I always thought this was my mom's recipe! I am surprised no one added the bisquick biscuits my mom used to put on the top near the end of cooking. Don't use the premade biscuits; make them from the recipe on the bisquick box because they are better that way. This really makes it for the kids. My mom also added red wine to make a better flavor. Also my kids don't like green pepper and celery so I leave those out. My mom also floured the meat and browned it in a frying pan prior to adding the meat to the stew. She also added a bay leaf. I miss her so so much!!

This was a very tasty stew. I halfed the recipe but still used the full can of soup and water called for and it turned out perfect. I would suggest if making the full recipe to double the soup and water. Thanks MizzNezz.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
