Mom gave me this recipe for this fabulous oven stew when i was in college and i love it It is a fast, easy stew with abundant flavor. The ingredients may seem simple enough but dont be fooled, they come together for the perfect blend of flavors. I love all the aromas that fill my house when moms fabulous slow cooker stew is cooking. Mmmmmm Theres just something comforting to know that you have a tasty, filling meal just cooking away while you are able to do other things.
