  2. Add a can of veg-all or any leftover vegetables out of fridge. Don’t forget to add celery and beef broth.

  3. Instead of using water use beef broth and add mushrooms an at the last half hour of cooking add frozen pea and green beans I have also added celery with the onions .

  4. This sounds so yummy want to make but what are freestyle Pt’s thanks so much for sharing

  5. If you are going to make this I would double or triple the recipe! If you are going to use the energy to cook something that long you might as well have leftovers or portions to freeze! I make one that I call Hobo stew that is simaler, mine has cabbage and green beans added and I use canned tomatoes that I zap into small pieces in the blender.
