Updated on Mar 1, 2011

I make this stew out of my left over roast dinner..I even use the same roaster the roast was cooked in ; I toss it all together after dinner and put roaster and all in the refrigerator until the next day I put it in the oven and let it cook! My mom was the one to teach me how to make this in the oven . I add more veggie's than my mom did and she always called my version "everything but the kitchen sink stew " The amount of vegetables depend on how many you had left over from your Roast dinner meal.
