beef stew jeanne's way
My Mother used to make a good pot of stew but I have taken her recipe and tweaked it until it is now my own. What I love about a stew is that you can clean out your fridge when you get overstocked with veggies. You can add pretty much anything you want but still use the basic broth ingredients. And what could be better than a hearty one pot meal that only requires a nice hot and crunchy French Roll by its side!
