I make a pot of this stew when I see that someone has a new baby or an emergency at their home. It can become a meal with a salad and some crusty bread. I watch to see how the liquid is while baking. Sometimes I add another can of beef broth. I also prefer to use "Better Than Bouillon" product and make my own broth. I also just slice the onions rather than chop them.
