I made this for dinner last night and it was outstanding. Simple to make, yet hearty and delicious. I didn't have tomato soup so changed it out for 3 cans of tomato sauce and used a couple Boca burgers instead of ground beef. We were very, very happy with how it turned out. Someday I will make it with the tomato soup and ground beef, but I had to substitute what I had on hand and it ended up being fantastic!

We had this tonight and were very pleased. My man thought the world of it. It is delicious rib-sticking comfort food. Perfect on a cold, chilly night. It does take some prep work and time in the morning (or night before) but it's worth it. After a long day at work you just walk in the door, do up some noodles or rice, ladle the stew over and dinner's on. Like others have said it's an excellent base recipe. I think in the future I would add more apples. I'd probably also add carrots and celery. Instead of water I would use apple cider or a pale, sweet beer, perhaps. It's a delightful autumn or winter meal. Thanks so much for posting it and making us so happy at dinnertime!
