Thanks so much for the recipe, Nilka. I rarely make stew because I can never get the flavors right. Looking forward to making this recipe tonight for dinner. God Bless!!

It was DELISH!! Instead of beef, I used venison (hubby and sons are hunters) and I also added a diced of potato because I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to make a side. Very tasty and filling. Hubby is taking the leftovers in his lunch tomorrow. I look forward to trying more of your recipes when you share.
