This is my FAVORITE recipe. My mother-in-law makes this every Christmas and the recipe was orginally found it in a church cookbook. I usually omit the bread cubes as my husband has Celiac Disease. I get requests for this recipe ALL the time, made exactly as is and when I omit the bread cubes. I've even made it with turkey breakfast sausage, eggbeaters, and 2% cheese and it still gets rave reviews.

First time I've ever made beef stew and this is was exactly the flavor I was looking for! I was looking to get as many vegetables as possible so I also added peas, corn, spinach, green beans and potatos. And I replaced half of the water with beef stock.

Great as is! I've made it twice. The first time I threw in 1/2 cup of sour cream with the half and half. My husband had three helpings and we had no leftovers!
