COMPANY STEW

This is our favorite stew recipe at our house. We call it Beef Stroganoff - but it doesn't follow the traditional. We serve it with Uncle Ben's Original Recipe Wild Rice Mix. The original recipe does not call for sour cream - but I add it just before serving - which is why we call it beef stroganoff at our house. I have also made this in the crock pot.

Brown the meat before adding it to the stew: This will help to develop flavor and create a richer stew.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will give the stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and parsnips.
Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
Simmer the stew for a long time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the stew, the better it will taste.
