Notes
- For extra layer flavor in the broth, add a couple of tablespoons of dry red wine. If you want more, you can use up to a cup of red wine.2. Toss in some extra veggies. Sliced white or baby bella mushrooms, or green beans, for example.3. Instead of cornstarch slurry, you can add a can of cream of mushroom soup to thicken it up.4. I peel my potatoes, but feel free to leave the skin on for a more rustic appearance to your hearty beef stew. Just be sure to scrub the potatoes clean.5. Swap the regular potatoes for sweet potatoes.6. Add a couple of bay leaves as it cooks. Remove it before serving.7. You can also sprinkle in some Italian seasoning for added taste.
