I made some modifications to make this a real stew. The last 2 hours of cooking, I added the following vegetables cut in bite size pieces: 3 medium potatoes, 4 carrots, 1 stalk celery, 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 samll onion, chopped. Add 1 can beef broth and thicken with a little cornstarch. So good on a chilly evening served with johnny cake.
