Ingredients

1 large onion, diced
6-8 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized chunks
2 lb. beef chuck or round steak or roast, cubed
1-15 oz. can of green peas
1-15 oz. can of corn
2-6.5 oz. cans of mushrooms
2 envelopes of beef gravy mix
2 envelopes of mushroom gravy mix
1 T. Mrs. Dash’s original blend seasoning
½ T. Alpine Touch seasoning

Instructions

Start the potatoes boiling a Dutch oven or large stew pot about ¾ full of water. Meanwhile, sauté` the meat and onion along with the seasonings in a fry pan. Set aside. Open the cans of vegetables and mushrooms, reserving the liquids (that’s where the nutrition is). Next, drain the potatoes, reserving the water.

Put the potatoes back into the Dutch oven or stew pot. Add the vegetables, mushrooms, and meat and onion mixture. Toss the ingredients lightly, stirring them gently together. Now, add enough of the reserved potato water to the reserved vegetable liquids to make a total of 8 cups of liquid. Add the gravy mixes to the liquid and stir with a wire whisk until blended.

Pour the liquid back into the pot over the vegetables and meat. Simmer on medium heat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the stew is bubbly. The stew will thicken upon standing.

Serve with biscuits or crusty French bread and butter.

Yield approximately 8 servings.
